Ever wondered what a remote-controlled Space Glider might look like? Well here's a superb example of a NASA M2F1 I've stumbled across languishing in the ended-auctions graveyard on fleabay USA [seller 2bigbufords]. At over 3 feet long it would have been a snip at a mere $1700! The seller has posted footage of the model on YouTube too. Sadly it's not shown in flight but it would be impressive for sure. With new C21 livery SWORD may have taken to the skies! Just imagine a fleet of radio-controlled Probe Forces taking off and a Nuke Ferry undocking! I wonder how many SWORD toys were actually launched from bedroom windows back in the day, with helpless Golden Astronauts mercillesly taped to them, quickly consigning the lot to the dustbin forever?
Not being servo-assisted myself, how hard would it be to make a SWORD toy fly?
