The Grumman X-29 was an American experimental aircraft that tested a forward-swept wing, canard control surfaces, and other novel aircraft technologies. The aerodynamic instability of the X-29's airframe required the use of computerized fly-by-wire controls.

Simple build, fun to fly.

    @planesnthings huh, I'm not sure what's up with the landing, seemed quite landable to me, just have to be liberal with the brakes.
