You should make the f18 lighter too, 14kg for retracts+fuselage is just too much for 3m long plane.
Sorry, you may do not know the scale landing gear is 3kg for F-18 and the the F-18 has 10 gear doors with 10 cylinders, then the wing included slats, speed brake, operate canopy... etc so, impassblem reduce the kg from constructions,
we had thinking how to control all pylons degree under the wings, when the swing wing back of Tornado,very difficulf to design it .,
Oh yes I didn’t think of this issue of the pylons under wings! I wonder how real one does it with different angles for wing?
If skymaster can do AV8B I am sure they can design Tornado!
The full-scale uses pivoting pylons with a tie-rod in the wing from the fuselage to the pylons that keeps them aligned straight ahead irrespective of wing sweep angle. Simple in concept.

F-111 example shown, but Tornado is the same.
Thank you very much for this imformation, we had some idea like this, but this will make more extra weight on the model., we will consider it, Thank you again,
this plane I fly as , elevator is elevator , aileron is aileron … each landing didn't use slats and flaps .. plane is big and light no need to use slats/flaps to land .. already enough slow to land without using those.. perfect flying model .
