One X-wing that I would not like to try out.
Just saw this one eariler, Actually the scan is 1/2. Too bad it exploded so fast. BTW, there is also a Y-wing too http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/star-wars/y+wing-beats-x+wing-gold-squadron-finally-kicks-ass-308477.php
I dunno. but tha y wing seemed to last longer. now all we have to do is wait for a 1/1 model of a Seraph or Longsword. sorry, halo calls.
Costed $5000, they say, and it's mainly to entertain the kids. For a few seconds, before it blows into smithereens. What a waste.
Yum. But they'd have better of installed some cameras in it! Inflight videooo! Needed stabilizers lol
ever wonder if they sold/auctioned the x wing in e-bay?^^
I think I read about this on slashdot a few days ago, but that one still had to go in the air, and even open its wings in mid air. Just like this one, it was made out of wood, but I think the thrust is just too strong for the wooden frame ;p It got a very nice start though and the red flames have a very cool effect ;p
You can see an article about the event it was at here http://www.rocketryplanet.com/content/view/2065/28/ Also some construction photos.
Pretty sweet! Although I wouldn't want to spend $5000 on something that lasts a couple seconds...
