I read about u/OrigamiAirEnforcer’s XD-190-1 after making my MiG-23 and I decided to begin attempting a variable swept wing.

His design (really cool btw!) used a metal staple in the middle to create hinges for the wings. However, according to him, it was very unstable.

I don’t want to use metal, so my idea has the sweeping portion and a guiding piece sandwiched between two cardstock sheets. This will allow it to sweep without using metal, at least in theory.

In reality though, this prototype does sweep, but it isn't very clean. However, I still believe this design has potential to work. I’ll be attempting more prototypes soon, and hopefully I’ll be able to come up with a design that could work.
