Default Estes Maxi X-Wing on Ebay

I just bought my second Maxi Brute X Wing. I saw this one at the last minute on Ebay going for 9.00 bucks. If I didn't submit my bid someone would have had a steal. It ended up costing me 26.00 bucks. I have seen these go for over 100 dollars. Everything is there except the launcher. I see a build in my future.

I got two of them; built one several years ago specifically for entering the Future Scale/
Science Fiction event at a NAR Regional meet at JSC. Got first place even though it crashed.....

D'oh! Nice snag.

$9? Dang I must have missed that one, I'm still looking for one myself.


Hey Dave, that looks great clustered. What did you use?

D12-5 (core) & four A10-PT's (outboards). Should have used a D12-3 for the core (as it turned out, the five second delay, couple with the high drag characteristics of the X-Wing
in general, was too long).
