Ever seen the pictures of one of the prototypes (#6 if i remember correctly) where they tested a one wing out scenario?? one wing was locked full forward, and the other was allowed to swing back.. the plane could be perfectly flown with the wing sweeped back completely, and was even considered te be landable on a carrier at up to 60° sweep angle on one wing....

Anton,
way to go on the 'drop' test.... the gear seems to dampen the shock well, I don't see the model bouncing back.....again a testament to the amount of development put into the model!!!
Now, I hope it will handle the test just as good when fully built at 20+ kg.....

just curiose how much does the cg move from wings forward to wings folded and does it change the flight of the ship ?
