Not necesarily true about the wings being ripped off.  Look at the cover of
this issue of Popular Science from November 2000:
http://www.popsci.com/magazine/this_month/toc_nov2000.html

In the article they stated how one of the aircraft contractors filed a
patent for it.  So apparently the aircraft companies are thinking seriously
about it (I don't think it would be especially difficult, take an X-29, add
the swinging wings from the F-14 and there you go).  Now leaving "Error
Handling" mode...

By the way Elliot, if you made that model to be like the airplane on the
front of PopSci then you did a really good job!  And the rest of your models
are great too!

My oh my, will technology never cease to amaze me!  I humbly stand
corrected!  If I had not seen to with my own eyes, I would have never
believed it.  And that thing will actually do that in mid-flight?  Wow!

:^)

In that case, EXCELLENT MODEL, ALL THE WAY AROUND!  Functional, realistic,
and damn sharp!
