Pattern Altitude
Say what?* Twin wheels on the nose. Again, why? Yes, canard designs rest a bit more weight on the nose. But what did that extra weight and complexity gain you in such a small aircraft?
If there were more weight on the nose gear, why do Long-EZ's have to retract their nose gear when parked so they don't tip back when nobody is in them? And I could lift the nose of my Velocity with one hand. I could never do that on my 182RG.
