I'll agree with that remark. But I bet it was fun...

 

[FlyAndFight]

[FlyAndFight]

Looking forward to seeing this thing in the air.*



*and what will probably be it's eventual Porkins-esque demise...

 

[WolverineFan520]

[Darth Loki]

I want one for my back yard

It actually looked pretty cool....




.....for about 2 seconds.

 

[Anzik]

Wow. Something like that could get you laid.



By the girl in the second row.

You spend all this time and money to build this thing and then you take it out to the desert to blow it up I don't get it

 

[Bannister]

Ooops!

I don't think it was supposed to blow up.

 

[wax murderer]

It didn't blow up;it fell apart in mid-air. Clearly it couldn't handle the launch stress(damn gravity anyway)...PS

 

[Darth Madden]

Must have been real fun watching it fall apart right before your eyes.

I was about to post, how would the reallife aerodynamics treat a real x-wing

Would it be possible to fly one.

So far the 1/2 scale didn't look like it would fly too well

We should have known that was the case.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Loved the "true" story...

 

[The Godfather]

This reminds me of my child hood except I was doing it with bottle rockets in a much much smaller scale. Mine didn't fall apart though at least until it hit the ground.
