I love it when a few simple measurements and a bit of lateral thinking makes some models come out rather nicely!
Admittedly I originally had the inside diameter of the SP2's cabin at 115cm but this was a tad short of what was really needed, so I regrouped the polygons and re-scaled the internal diameter to be 150cm or nearly 5ft US Imperial measurements, which was more comfortable for pilots taller than little ol' 154cm tall moi. XDD so yeah, the aformentioned 150cm for cabin height... yeah that's not very comfortable for much bigger furs like Nimsha, or Dave, or even Kitchy. XDD
I found this out rather easily when I dropped in a place holding seat taken out of my Bell214 Huey2 model, and stuck in the front most clone half of the cockpit... and then I stuck my 3D representation of myself in the seat and moved both as far and comfortably as I could to the outside of the cabin nearly touching the skin of the hull.... Far too small... so scaling up to 1.5 meters solved everything, and this is what we see here, a 1.5 meter diameter cabin that's roomy enough, and yet exterior dimensions slender enough for decent aerodynamics.
We might notice a fair bit of space ahead of the flight instruments in the nose section, and truthfully I'll just fill it with filler until I can confer with Chucky as to what he envisions might be in the forward section. Nav radar for sure, but everything else I leave it to him to say. Additional electronics perhaps, even the main batteries are likely to be stored there, as most Bell helicopters such as the 206 Ranger series, and the 205 212 and 214 series Hueys also kept their 24v battery packs in the nose. But one thing is certain... There is a space which should be left unobstructed near the bottom of the flight instruments panel, the pilot's legs, rudder pedals, and of course the vision ports on the floor of the cabin for clear view of the terrain and most importantly for a long nosed bird like the Esspy, a clear view of the taxi and runway guide markers!
Long nose bird is long.. and unlike the British/French Concord, the SP2 does NOT have the option for a hinged, depress-able nose for unobstructed vision of what's ahead.. and zigzagging tail-dragger style looking out the cabin hatch windows down the taxi / runways would be terribly effective. I'm sure in an emergency this would be a viable thing, but zigzagging day-to-day doesn't sound like something I'd wanna do.
Overall, I reeeeeeeeealy like how this fan model is shaping up for Charles. His comic is aviation geekness at it's finest... plus furry... I mean common... aviation fuzzy cuteness! fffffffffffffff fantastic!!!
Hope ya like where this is going Chuck? Keep that charming comic of yours flying high, we your fans appreciate it all! ✈️

Love it love it love it! You've got the size just about right too. Despite the inconsistencies in how large or small I draw the SP-2, it is rather small like any two-seat trainer. Someone like Nimsha would be squeezed into it pretty good, just like my rather large primary instructor and I squeezed into a Cessna 152. Looking at your cockpit cutaway, I think Chucky would be happy to know there was a rat-butt in the seat prior to him.
Okay, so here's some nerdy stuff. The long nose of course holds linkage for steering, control mechanisms for the canard's pitch control and pitch trim. There is a load-bearing structure for the nose-wheel, all the avionics behind the instrument panel, and the pitot-static system. But more than anything, it's a moment arm for the canard. When the airplane rotates to take off, that canard needs to be able to lift everything forward of the main gear(the pivot point on the ground), including the possibility of two furs like Huff Densen and Chucky. Once the wing is angled upward to a good angle of attack, it provides the majority of the lift once airborne. Because the occupants sit forward of the wing, there is a possibility of a significant forward center of gravity. So you'll need a long moment arm and a rather over-sized canard for pitch control.
Most canard configured airplanes are rather high performance, or at least not beginner airplanes. The canards are small the aircraft have high landing and stall speeds, not something you want in a trainer.

Screen shot noted!
Ahhh okay that all make prefect sense and should be easy enough to make. It's interesting to note from what I've read so far regarding your explanation is that the forward canard is a simple flying wing with rim-tabs; a fully moving flight surface as opposed to just moving trailing edge surfaces. I can see where rotating the entire canard would be much more effective at attitude control, something most helpful during take off rotation and climb out.
And oh my yes, I'm sure Chucky would love to have known a hot set of ratty buns were warming the seats for him prior.
Okay then, time to make this all happen!
I'll seek advice if I come across other technical issues I hadn't thought about already, and I'm glad you're liking this.
