Pretty impressive, and suprisingly aerobatic for such a large model!

Unfortunately it's not strictly correct.

The X-1 was launched from within the fuselauge, not hung from the wing. When the film 'The Right Stuff' was made back in the 80's they used a scale B-29 and X-1 about the same size as these ones. I think I still have the magazine article on it in the shed at the old's place.

Cheers,
Jason.
