I am a senior at the Florida Institute of Technology
and am studying Aerospace Engineering. For a senior
design project, we have decided to build a radio
controlled model of a canard style airplane.

Could anyone tell me of reference books (Nasa papers,
text books, etc.) that would be direclty
aplicable to canard airplanes, particulary
in the areas of stability and aerodynamics. 

A main wing will be mounted in the aft section of the
model, with rudders mounted on the wing tips for 
directional control. The forward canard will serve as
a lifting surface as well as for pitch control.

Thank you in advance for any sources of information
you can provide.
