Foam board model of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat powered by two 64 mm ducted fans. This F-14 is capable of flying at both very low and high speeds with its ability to change its sweep angle in mid-flight.

This Chuck Glider is Super Fun and Easy to Build! You have a Choice of Swept Forward or Swept Back Wings!
Each Way has Different Flight Characteristics and You will Need to Balance It differently for Each Way!
