Paul,
What do you think of this configuration for an airplane? More or less a
flying wing with Bonanza-like tail surfaces. Wouldn't be stall-resistant
like a canard, but still looks like a minimal low-drag configuration.
This was sent to me by a designer in Poland who saw my Light Sport
Aircraft page.

Hard to say without a three view. Could have insufficient tail volume.

Looks like there might  be some coupling between the rudder input and roll response.

Hard to say what the handling characteristic might be but with fly by
wire anything is possible.
