It's so cute

1/21 scale X-15 R/C rocket glider flights (3 min 35 sec)

Quick little sucker!

Boost speed is 170mph, at 1/21 scale that is a little over Mach 5

Thank you to Tony Accurso for capturing this flight.
I have one of Franks X-15s coming. Couldn’t resist.

Very cool Frank, nice to see some smaller kits. For those of us who haven't jumped in yet the 18 mm motors are much cheaper than the 24 mm!

And I carry the plugged closures for $12 which is all you need to use them, or you can plug a standard closure with JB weld.
