@bliblibli thank you for the upvote and I have just uploaded a swing wing plane called fast swing wing and I will be uploading an improved version of that tomorrow with external fuel tanks
While the plane itself wouldn't be worthy of an upvote, it's concept of variable geometry wings is. Variable geometry wings are still something relatively rare in simpleplanes, and seeing an innovative desing like this can help to normalize it, so it earns my upvote. Well done!
