I'm sort of new to this whole aviation thing and am curious about spin resistant aircraft. I've thought about building, more likely buying, a canard because I like the safety aspect. But also saw the Icon at Oshkosh last year and was impressed. Then today I see this:

Does this actually mean that the airplane will be as safe as an airplane that has a canard?
