Flight of the X-wing

[Stinky Bantha]

Don't know if you guys have seen this already or not, but I think this is possibly the coolest thing I've seen all week. I used to love messing around with rockets, but this is to a whole 'nother level

8 days away, I can't wait to see that thing in action. I hope it survives through the initial launch.

If it does, a quad set of Williams FJ44s and some beefing of the structure to hold fuel should allow a person to fly it, or at least a larger version.

Holy frak! That's AWESOME!!!!

Can't wait to see it fly

Fly... I don't think so. Create an amazing crash, undoubtedly!

But would that really be any worse than if it flew perfectly? hahaha

I'd be afraid to actually launch it, it looks too cool to have it crash....or have the wings fly off during the launch.

That thing is awesome. I so hope that it all works. It would be pretty funny though, if the ship didn't even get airborne, the wings just shot off upon ignition.

Yeah just saw this on the LUN site, man is that cool, it's a long way from the Estes Model Rockets I built when I was a Kid. Just one question how many D Engines does it take?

When it crashes, I hope they have a Yoda crane to "rise" it back onto land.
