Rocket-Powered 21-Foot-Long X-Wing Model Actually Flies (Updated: Built-in R2-D2)

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Ali Hamoud  

 Does anyone really want a comment on this one - the title says it all !!

Andy Woerner and his crazy rocketeer friends have built a 21-foot long X-Wing model that can actually fly. Yes, this is a real X-Wing powered by four solid-fuel rocket engines complete with radio-controlled moving wings.

To say that I am impressed is an understatement - not content with a model - it's going to fly - I just want to know when it will be going into production - where do we place our orders. I'm just not to sure about the possibilities of shooting each other down - but hey - go with guts
