Adjust CG in flight or adjust wing arrangement in flight?

If you are doing a sweep of only ten degrees, the CG is really not the problem. I did that with an offset asymmetrical wing of ten degrees and it was under control, but not any 3D. It's the structural stuff that needs addressing like the pivit pin for the sweep mechanism and stripped servos and the wing.

How about some pictures of your setup?
Sweep of 10 degrees from the root, moving the center of area of the wing about an inch, which would be like moving the battery about 3 inches.

Update: got the FT Edge build kit in the mail today- did anyone ever do a scaled up version of these plans? It builds like something way bigger. Kinda tempted to build one out of 1/4” fanfold, because it seems like it would just be better at that size and with a lighter material. Lots of formers, doublers, etc. to the point that it seems like it was designed to either be made from a lighter material or a thicker material or both.
