My first try at an X-29. This one has some issues but it takes off and flies. Not sure why the wings are so floppy but they cannot take too much pressure.

    In fact, the issue that the researchers found with that type of wing design, is that it needs to be very strong to support high speeds, otherwise it collapses, like your case. But your design was pretty good, i did just "rebuild" it, and it is awesome....
