This maybe the coolest thing i’ve ever seen.  A life sized X-wing.  Its 21 feet long with a 19 foot wingspan.  On Oct 10 they are gonna launch this baby to a galaxy far far away!!!  It will be launched like a normal model rocket but……….. wait for it………….. it has a motor on it that will make the wings go into attack position.  They are hoping to be able to recover this thing after it lands softly thanks to 4 parachutes.  Can’t wait to see the videos from this.


OMG never mind don’t strap me to this. What a sad ending to such an amazing feat of Star Wars geekyness.
