How about a hydrolic extending nosegear, that would retract to be stowed.
:facepalm: Canards don't make an aircraft "Stall-Proof" it just gives better handling, Those aircraft that use fixed canards are designed to let the canard stall before the main wing. With a fully moving canard things are different, in fact they can under some circumstances be more trouble than they are worth.
Okay, now that I look more closely, it MIGHT work. You'd need some really BIG elevons, though.
The only reason i ever fly the DGIV is becuase of the UCGO cargo bay but ESPECIALY because of the epic ejection system for the UMMU passengers. I think the XR vessels realy need an ejection system which would make it even better
