SchArCo Swinger

Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's Variable-sweep Wings Challenge [CLOSED]

My entry to WinsWings Swing Wing challenge, a simple aircraft with Naval capabilities having a tail hook (AG 5), IFR probe (AG 3, VTOL down), full set of lights (AG 2), and of course the swing wing capabilities (AG 8 + VTOL, automatically selected). Having the stability with wings out and the slick speed of the wings swept back, nothing beats a swing wing. Best to land at around 15% throttle, and can take off the catapult with full throttle and full trim with no need to pull up. Have fun with swinging around the Swinger.
