I know this is too late to be of any help to JAL3. but since the issue of Swing Wing hinges came up, I decided to start a new thread about just that.
There is just something about flying 6 to 10.5 foot wingspan swing-wings tend to make you learn how to make stronger, more robust (and to me, easier) ways to pivot the wings. And those methods down-scale well too. I even did some 1/4A Swing-wings, long ago.
So, for new discussion of swing wing hinges, check out this thread which includes the 6.5 foot span model below and drawings for what I have used for Swing Wing hinges:

I've been following that thread as you have posted it and it is something to be archived. Thanks for the information. I'd like to have the guts to do a big one like that some day.
