Using Drones to Make a Flying X-Wing from Star Wars

We all want to be Luke Skywalker on the trench run in an X-wing starfighter. With each passing day, we're getting closer to making that dream a reality. Rodger Cleye made this 5-foot long model as a part of that ongoing effort.

It's made of PVC pipe which is why it looks hollow. That was necessary because anything more would have been too heavy for the 3 drone motors that make it airworthy. Check it out in action:

Will do! I'm sure the other "mancys" are rock-solid.

I can tell you that if you have a ragged mole that's changing, a visit to the dermatologist is in your future. If not, then a visit to the undertaker may be out there on the horizon.
