Gizmodo spent a day in the desert waiting for the first (and explosively last) launch of the fan-built, rocket-powered, X-Wing fighter.

Rocket Team Designs & Builds Functioning 21' X-Wing Rocket for Launch.
http://digg.com/design/Rocket_Team_Designs_Builds_Functioning_21_X_Wing_Rocket_for_Launch
It is over 21' long, with a wingspan of over 19' - "We opted to use a cluster of four motors to emulate the "real" X-wing, and positioned the motors in the wing pods. The real challenge was to make the wings move in flight, from "attack" position to "landing" position. Late additions to the project included making R2D2 turn via radio & make sounds.

TG Video: X-Wing rocket interview and in-flight disintegration
http://digg.com/design/TG_Video_X_Wing_rocket_interview_and_in_flight_disintegration
A scale replica of a Star Wars X-Wing fighter disintegrated in mid-flight after being launched in Plaster City California. The ill-fated fighter was powered by four “L” class rocket engines and was fired straight up into the air. It tumbled after approximately two seconds of flight and all four wings ripped off.

X-Wing Rocket Takes Flight, Rips Itself to Bits
http://digg.com/space/X_Wing_Rocket_Takes_Flight_Rips_Itself_to_Bits
Star Wars enthusiasts constructed a surprisingly detailed X-Wing replica, outfitted it with L-size rocketry engines, and fired it off. Sadly, the aerodynamically poor shape of the craft yielded a rather, destructive, yet entertaining result...

z00t s space: Followup to the X-Wing
http://digg.com/offbeat_news/z00t_s_space_Followup_to_the_X_Wing
Well, they launched it, and it flew, and the wings moved to attack position. And then it disintegrated :-( But while it was flying it looked pretty spectacular - check out the video.
