It says its gonna fly, but I am thinking more like go straight up in the air and come back down like an over-sized Estes rocket. There are no aerodynamic wings on that thing.

[UOBob]

Either way, I hope theres a video of the flight or whatever happens!

[theantiquetiger]

It is a cool model and I do hope there will be video of it flying. It has all the makings of a crash and burn. This thing has 4 solid fuel rockets on it and what looks like very little controls on it. This thing could go anywhere!!!

Now that's going over the top. Okay, I admit, I want one. I also want a full size SWAT van.

Keep us updated won't you Bob!

"Look at the size of that thing!"

"Cut the chatter, Red Two."

Oh it'l fly with enough thrust it's controlled flight and landing that are the real trick

[batmanmc]

wow thats cool. i want to see it fly. mike

[UOBob]

The Star Wars and all things science/science fiction related fan in me wants to see a flight that is a resounding success.

The little 10yo punk kid in me that used to melt his action figures with a magnifying glass, wants to see it explode on the launch pad, spraying fiery death in all directions.

I'm a little conflicted.

Holy cow! And X Wing! Man, I hope it flies!

[mitchedwards]

trying to light multiple engines is always tricky.

I'm predicting crash and burn. tune into youtube next week

Ooops. Well, at least it got off the ground before it exploded and rained fiery death all over the place.

You know, for just a moment before the thing went kablooey, there was an angle where it really did look like an X-Wing in flight. And then it gets blasted.
