Hello,

I have just begun to believe that I could successfully build and fly an airplane.  As such, I joined this mail list and have started reading your comments, questions, & concerns.  The help you are providing each other seems to be valuable.

In just a few weeks of reading two airplanes will easily fit my need and allow for growth, the RV-10 and Velocity XLRG.  Of the two, I favor the RV for its better STOL capabilities and low speed landings.  There are benefits to a pusher style drive system (besides a quieter ride), the Velocity is a good looking plane (that has to count for something).

So, my question to you all is, for those who fly a canard style airplane, what were the top reasons you chose this style of aircraft to build and fly?

Thank you;
