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.
