man, I saw that thing in toledo a few years back, that thing was even more sick in person. I hope it never flew, it's a depron treasure.

You guys probably hate me by now,

but Max is right, I love the static display on my shelf!!!

A friend of mine was over and said when are you going to fly this thing and I replied as long as my FG buds forget about it never

So now it looks like I have to, I will have to try this during an FG special event or something so everyone can see and there will be plenty of video regardless of outcome.

Hey, this could make for some great photo shop/ video especially if it goes straight in and self destructs ha ha ha.

Let me know what you think!!!

You have to play starwars music in the background (from Empire Strikes Back) while you attempt to maiden it!
