The design three lifting surfaces radio-controlled model is presented in this paper. The aim of this prototype is the study of canard influence on aircraft aerodynamics, static and dynamic stability, and flying qualities at high angles of attack. The prototype is equipped for the measure all flight parameters and control surface deflections. Numerically predicted flight characteristics and simulated maneuvers are also presented. Flight test are planned in these days while writing this paper.
