- Video: Real life X-wing fighter explodes on takeoff
- Not so much an explosion really...The thing didn't explode so much as it fell apart. This was likely due to the poor engineering of the unit. It was a cool model, but plywood and rocket fuel just don't mix.FizzleLooks like it could have used a bit more duct tape.............No...

- Video: Real life X-wing fighter explodes on takeoff
- Back in February, I took a lot of crap from Star Wars fans when I questioned the usefulness of X-wing fighters' x-wings.

- Video: Real life Y-wings fly better than X-wings...sorta

- Video: Why it's never safe to fly model X-wings
- Last October, we chronicled the adventures of the Polecat Aerospace Club as they built a laser-cut, custom-designed 1/4th scale X-wing as a monster model rocket--perhaps to answer whether those X-wings are actually useful for flight.
