Sorry, couldn't resist this. :D

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

ummmm  o-kay ....  canard designs have great low speed stall and recovery characteristics as well as good maneuverability.  They also reduce the overall drag of an aircraft.  The center of gravity change can be useful.  So can use of Photoshop.
