Difficult to fly when wings are swept back, break to maneuver properly.
As seen with the relatively short description, another rushed plane.

@Dimkal thank you very much! I shall keep in mind your remarks, and since this is one of my favorite aircraft I've built, I might redo it with most of the upgrades you've listed. Again thank you!
This is a very good build regarding your level of expertise and building capability. I really like the general shape and the overall flight behavior. This aircraft has a lot of potential and I would love to see a Mk.2 upgrade variant with many fixes/add-ons.
Here are my remarks:
1. Add ailerons (Roll) to the main wing to enhance roll rate
2. Try to "reverse-engineer" some custom-made landing gears with sufficient suspension.
3. Experiment with Funky Trees so as to make the wings swing automatically with airspeed/AoA/Altitude/Configuration. Will look so cool.
4. Revise the airbrakes and make them more efficient.
5. Add more details (decals, antennas, pitot tubes, sensors)
6. Make the weapons more realistic and more diverse (see some real-life weapons for reference e.g. AM39 Exocet)
7. Try to refine the CoM/CoL for better handling
Your wing-building technique is quite good and the shape and size of the aircraft rests nice in my eyes.
Don't hesitate to ask for anything you don't understand and do not hesitate to "copy" and "use" other people's cool stuff.
Keep building! You are good!
@switdog08 You're not alone bud. I absolutely agree
Am I the only one that sees a F-14 + a Rockwell B-1
