Most of the Canard forums are either old guys that know it all and get into p***ing contests over anything, or new builders that know more than Burt and are redesigning the whole plane. After all these years most the best mods are done and tested, the rest failed but these new guys, and they take over some forums, have to try all new ideas and won't listen to advice from those old guys that know. Weird group and I gave up on most of them long ago. I find the RV guys more interesting though much less experimental or knowledgeable due to the fact that most just rivet together kits that are practically prebuilt rather then spending years building every part from scratch like a canard. Fortunately at my field I have a couple RV and Rocket guys that have been working on aircraft for 30+ years and totally know their stuff. So they are a huge source of info and advice.
The cool canard guys and gals don't do forums but you'll find them, like I have, if you're around these wonderful planes long enough. The really chatty ones are rarely worth reading.
