Star Wars Lucasfilm 3/4 scale X-wing fighter

[JUDGExNOCTURNAL]

150 videos and you still haven't figured out how to use a camera; well obvisouly your not Japanese.

[onexero1]

Who the FUCK parks an X-Wing with the S-foils open?

[23takemeaway]

@onexero1 errr...that was me!

[lukeanakin123]

is this R2 real?

[starwarsjunkiie]

3/4 scale looks full scale to me looks like you can sit in it and everything

[1234legodude]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

[cheezequeso]

I want an R2...

[dp100eboggan]

The XWing is actually shaped like a J. Your eyes deceive you!

[ReconCloneCommando]

@dp100eboggan when the wings open its the form of an x from the front view

[lesadamus]

i think the can have energy fields, to influence the airstreams arround the ship.

[TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA]

dude take your xwing to a aircraft designer and make it into a real flyable fighter jet

[nunopumpkin]

why build a 3/4 scale? you're so close to 100%

[honeypot11]

i wonder if they sell real life x wings that can go up to pluto

[TheOriginalEAGLE]

Umm... no.

[honeypot11]

well what do u know

[TheOriginalEAGLE]

Well, lets see. I've been flying aircraft since I was 13 years old. I'm now 46. I grew up in t military, and am quite familiar with everything that isnlt classified, and have flown quite a few military aircraft. I was also in line to watch Star Wars when it opened in 1977 (I think it was) and know the difference between Science Fiction dreamt up by George Lucas and an Aerodynamically sound fighter jet. Is that enough?

[honeypot11]

ok good job smart ass but maybe sometime in the future (like 2030) they will have the star wars x wing

[TheOriginalEAGLE]

Umm..no.

[honeypot11]

umm..yes

[TheOriginalEAGLE]

Ok. Hope you won't be too disapointed when 2030 rolls around and there's no real X-Wing.

[honeypot11]

but if there is ill tell u TOLD U SO!!!!!!

[TheOriginalEAGLE]

Fair enough. I'd be first in line to fly one..

BTW I like your name.

If you like XWings so much, I know where you can get a 100% accurate Studio Scale model...

[MOVEZIG]

@TheOriginalEAGLE

Captain cardboard's X-Wing is what you are talking about right? They are mostly resin, very hard to work with. One of the best, easier alternatives is to buy a "Fine molds" X-Wing. They have a 95% accuracy rating and they sell models in 1/72 and 1/48 scale.

[skylinevspec000]

What you know clouds your mind, honey doesnt know anything therefor its possible. I believe xwings could fly in our atmosphere and if we had the engine tech easy to pluto, ion drives are being delevoped, they are from starwars in 77 it was science fiction, now they are working in a lab here in australia i believe. Dont let your knowledge get in the way, a lot of thigns are possible people just dont do it for various reasons

[TheOriginalEAGLE]

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE X-Wing foghters. I study the available Studio Scale models guys are doing all the time, because they have reproduced exactly what was done in '75 or so on the originals, and currently I'm building two different models. I would love to see it fly, but spacial mechanics just won't allow it to function as it did in Ep. IV, and it will be centuries before man could make engines that small that could drive it at light speeds. Something like the Enterprise would come first.

[SuperHaloStarwarsFan]

lol

Honeypot you stupid idiot, you're saying we will have a Starfighter the size of a large SUV patrolling Earth's atmosphere at speeds of up to 3,000 MPH with high-powered laser cannons and a highly intelligent robot making calculations and repairing parts of the ship by 2030?

[TheOriginalEAGLE]

ROFLMAO

[Oceanstorm80]

LOL!!! I want one XDD With one of these i can save around of 1500 to 2000 dollars in flight expenses per year XD

[WadeMacKinnon]

@TheOriginalEAGLE Aerodynamics don't matter in the vacuum of space. I'm not saying that we're going to ever have x-wing fighters, but they don't need to be aerodynamic.

As for atmospheric flight, what would hold us back is what science fantasy calls "repulsors" not jet engines, we're not likely to ever have that technology so your argument can still stand, just modified a bit.

[jera3]

I wanna help r2 so hes not alone XP

[ambspier]

cool!! R2 can come out cant he?

[mrwhoha]

poor r2d2 stuck in there at day and night so alone

[109acepilot]

Please give us more videos of this this thing in action! walk around it...get up close...show the cockpit ...yes! I'd love to see one.

[Hyperdynelabs]

Next time I go down to work on it I will try and take more recent shots. Right now the bird is still at NASA.

[TheOriginalEAGLE]

You built this thing? Does it have anything in the cockpit?

[doc0garcia]

@Hyperdynelabs why is it at nasa are they going to create a stareship. if they do i want one....
