OK, so now those canards appear to have lost their swivelling hinges and are now looking very fixed?? Now it is just the engines that swivel to the vertical, but no hinge or actuator is visible - under the wing must be some very strong actuating arms. And the early "design" where the front canard retracted into the nose has been dropped. Obviously they paid attention to the constructive criticism here on Proon.
