Built by Grumman for NASA and the Air force, the X-29 was designed to test swept foward wings among other things. In the real plane the center of mass was behind the center of lift, requiring an electronic stability system to maintain stability. In my version, its very stable because of simpleplanes magic, but like the real plane, it shows why swept foward wings never caught on. Enjoy!
