Here is my 1:1 scale replica of the supersonic X-29 American experimental jet.
First, I know it is not exact and the length is over a foot off, but it is close and my best.
Second, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Thanks!
Controls:
Pitch: Pitch
Roll: Roll
Landing Gear: LandingGear
Act. 1: Parachute
Here is some stuff about it:
The Grumman X-29 was developed by Grumman and had a total of 242 flights, and “the X-29 demonstrated a number of new technologies and techniques, and new uses of existing technologies” The X-29 can fly at mach 1.2, or 1100-1200 mph. The X-29 was the third forward-swept wing jet-powered aircraft design to fly. The X-29 first flew on December 14th, 1984. Only two were ever made, but these were flown and tested for the next decade, until 1991 when it was retired. The Grumman X-29 was said to demonstrate “effective high angle of attack control” and “great military utility.”

@AfterShock I will look into it, thanks
They took forever lol
@WEAPONSMITH Thanks!
It's been a while! I was wondering since you know how to code pictures could you do one of hypnotoad just search hypnotoad or hypnotoad futurama if you want to do it @Joco80
Okay, Thanks, I know. Did you read my description?@GrOuNdZeRo
Oh OK sorry@Joco80 😕
Really cool detail work, The model is not a 100% since the elevators are too stubby for example. Also the canards don't rotate so it can really take advantage of the extra manuaverability the canards provide, The X-29 I built isn't flawless either but it demonstrates the control surfaces and how they are supposed to operate, I personally added the guns since all the X-29 is is a modied F-5 Tiger II and the X-29 likely still had the provisions for the guns and people are going to want to dogfight with it regardless.
Well, I could but this never had weapons. It was experimental... Just a concept plane @Jmen999
@Joco80 Could you add a armament of missiles, bombs, rockets or guns please?
Yeah, thanks. Feel free to remake it as a successor! :) @Tessemi
Heh, no problemo friend
