Auto Credit Based on BlueWhiskySP's Grumman X-29

This is a Northrop Grumman X-29 I've modified to be much more accurate physically and operationally compared to other versions out there. It's more stable than its predecessor and flight dynamics more smooth. The forward canards only operate on a VTOL slider, making them mostly useful only during the takeoff phase of flight. If anyone has ideas on how to improve this design, or any other aspect of the aircraft's design, please share your ideas. I'd love to further perfect this design. Also, on a sidenote: The black paint scheme is inspired by the Ace Combat 05 'Ghosts of Razgriz' paint scheme.
