At five feet in length, Rodger Cleye's X-wing could be the largest flying Star Wars model to date. Except that since it's built with a framework of PVC piping to keep it light, it's the last thing the Rebels will ever want to take into battle.
Despite its size, this X-wing model weighs just 19 pounds thanks to its lightweight framework. And it's kept aloft by a trio of twelve-inch rotor blades powered by 1200W electric motors. It's not exactly maneuverable, and it could never carry an astromech droid—let alone a pilot. Even given all that, I still like its odds against the original Death Star. [Hack a Day via Technabob]
