I think you will find it gives you the kind of things you can actually use. Lennon is the best!

Hey; tell me your desirs; perhaps I can give you a Sketch to star with...
Give me also: desired engine, desired configuration, desired flying, etc... I'll be glad on helping you!!!!

Think differently. How you want it to fly? Inverted? Fast roll? Speedy? Slowly? Short takeoff? Short landing? Hover? List maneuvers? Economy? Size? Transport to the field? Store after bring home? Other functions? Maneuvering Vs stability? Wing loading? Mass distribution? Etc, etc.

Only then think about pusher. Why? When painting a floor, don't paint yourself in the corner away from the door.
