..BOTH Wing and Canard were intended to be 240". One of each were
built. The main wing failed the load test, possibly due to the test
fixture. the canard passed. I built a 200" canard per his
instructions and load tested at the same time as the others. I
istalled this canard and flew it over 100Hrs before I sold the plane.
I would take a "tested, but broken" canard any day over the
unknown.....my butt is worth a little more than that. This is not
something you should do half-heartedly. (I'm sure some won't like
this.) Mike Conlin

Would you have to increase the span of the rear wing to 240"

I would suspect that you could if you wanted to but Mr.
Waddelow
apparently chose to keep the same main wing span - with a
slightly
different
lay-up schedule. I'm sure there are weight/ballance issues
either
way.
