Found this interesting .049 profile CL job with swing wings like the F-111 Aardvark:

Angle of wings can be changed in flight by a 3rd line.

Interesting model. I would think the more the wings are swept back, the less the drag and higher the speed?

It would appear that way. Just think, it would not be hard to adapt this idea to RC. May be upsized a touch with .049 and a K-Flex wing of foamboard. Do a few stunts, then retract the wings to make a high speed get-a-way down the field.balogh wrote:Interesting model.
