@Mr07077 Hi,

I'm afraid this is a one-off scratch build. I have the drawings in dxf format if that is any use. Al

Absolutely Fantastic! If it were marketed it would sell well. I know I'd buy one.

Who was at the controls, Robert or Steve? I couldn't tell.

Very nice! Reminds me of my youth and how i love that show and all Jerry Anderson's shows.

The only improvement you could make to this would be to launch it off the 'rail' which the original XL5 started on! Great work!
