| Jul 22 at 15:14 | comment | added | Kenn Sebesta | @BenVoigt I had something similar, but that could stray into why they're not worth it. Since my thought pattern was on canards, which are already uncommon, the answers I'm after is why they're tough to build, not just rare. If they were easy to build in a manner that didn't greatly impact payload/performance, they would presumably be more common even if their value wasn't high. | |
