Let me propose a modification to Alan Thayer's spar trough that would make building the canard with the Graphlite spar a little easier. Instead of trying to cut the foam core in one pass from one set of templates which results in the spar trough not being the correct width from root to tip, I suggest doing a second cut for the spar trough only which would allow for the different taper ratio of the spar vice the taper ratio of the canard itself. Food for thought...?
