Auto Credit Based on TTHHSSSS's Oblique Wing Demonstrator

VTOL to cross wings to make x. The x shape noticably reduces drag, allowing it to fly over 500mph compared to the 450 when they not crossed. Use trim and don’t roll too fast otherwise it explodes. Enjoy!

    Wow that’s bizarre. Can’t seem to do that with mine. Are you running high settings? @XxDannehxX

    @TTHHSSSS I was going full roll while the wings were swinging, and sometimes it would go in a Death Spiral when the wings break

    It’s more of a concept demonstrator, but thanks for the feedback @XxDannehxX

    Found a problem, if you roll and swing the wings around, the wings break
