Auto Credit Based on ollielebananiaCFSP's Variable-sweep wing [TOURNAMENT]

For the variable sweep challenge, I have fabricated a special experimental fighter, classed as the XP-88, nicknamed Quetzalcoatl, after the Aztec Dragon. Unlike other variable wing aircraft, this one is unusual since it is powered via piston engine, as opposed to a jet. Flight controls are normal (VTOL for wing angle) sweep back for speed and forth for maneuverability, but do not sweep too far or else, destruction ensues XD
