If you arent using a turbo, and have the turbo oil return on the front..
you could pipe the return up to there and bolt onto it.. but thats a
long run, and would have to avoid the heat of the exhaust.

 
This method worked fine in the RV-3, but I'd be worried about doing it with a canard.  In an extended climb, the oil will be trying to drain uphill. 
 
On one iteration of the RV-3, I ran the drain back to a fitting installed in the oil pan drain bolt hole.  That worked fine as well, but is far from ideal.  
 
Cheers,
Rusty (moving the RV-8 to the airport Monday)
