I have bought a Swift from Nige a couple of weeks ago 
In that week i have broken it allready :-[but it is only a glue touch up.....The horizontal stab broke off on a launch and then went to do the ground hard
After that it had me thinking ::)What would happen if i straighten the wings and have a less degree in the angle of the wings.....here is a pic of the origonal swift
and this is the new modifyed one that i have created
I have dramatically reduced the angle of the wings....and have beefed up the nose too survive another impact
i have had a couple of test glides in my front yard today and seems to fly better It penetrates alot easyier in to the wind and is gliding better as in distance.....The big test is tomorrow when i go to park to test the Discuss launch and turning What i want to do is put allerions on it to improve it again and help with its turning and spot landings and just general flight but until tomorrow.......we will have to see what happens
Regards,
Chris ;D
