Mark you calanders - X-Wing takes to the skies!

October 6, 2007, is when this bad boy is scheduled for launch. Launch? That's right, this 21 foot model X-Wing fighter will launch, complete with four solid rocker motors and operating wings, will launch and fly as anticipated. If nothing else it will make a great YouTube video when it comes back to Earth. Check it out at:

Rumor has it that IXO has it on their must do list in 1:72 scale for 2008. But, lest we forget, we have been disappointed by IXO rumors before.

They need to launch this when the Darth Vader balloon is flying...

The bird was toast 5 seconds after launch, but it looks like everyone enjoyed those 5 seconds.

No kidding Ara1. Spectacular launch followed shortly by its destruction. What a disappointment!

Sorry to see things didn't go as planned, and all the work that was lost in 2 seconds...
