Description

The X-Wing (S) is my version of the X Wing designed specifically for Slope Soaring. 

Updates will follow... 

3/7/2025: Set airfoil thickness according to 3mm CF tube spars. It was suggested that this be made into a rocket glider.. it will be done. I need a good in-flight ignition mechanism for an Estes motor. Preferably without the use of an ESC. Let me know rocketeers. 

3/8/2025: Made subtle changes, putting fuselage on ozempic, increased wingspan and scaled down lower wing, made vertical stabilizers taller.. added ailerons, to be controlled with double servo arms and pull/spring.
