#CLONE X WING UPGRADE#
Additionally, twelve ship cards let you choose the pilots who fly these starfighters into battle and eighteen upgrade cards invite you to customize your ship to fit your strategy. This expansion contains everything you need to add two Clone Z-95 Headhunters to your Republic squadrons, including two beautifully painted miniatures in the classic Republic color scheme, two maneuver dials, and tokens. The versatility and maneuverability of this starfighter make it a perfect support fighter able to fulfill a variety of roles. The Clone Z-95 starfighter is a light-weight, multi-role variant on the widely produced Z-95 Headhunter. Don't pull the engine pod all the way out because it is a real pain to get the streamer folded right and inserted back into the rocket.Ĭopyright © 1998 by LUNAR, All rights reserved.Support your Grand Army of the Republic forces with the Clone Z-95 Headhunter Expansion Pack for Star Wars: X-Wing! Do this by pulling the engine pod out until you can see the edge of the streamer. HeadsUp: When doing RSO duty on an X-wing TM Starfighter, check the wrapping of the streamer to be sure it is wrapped back and forth around the engine pod and not wrapped around the pod. If done this way, at least a foot of streamer will deploy as soon as the engine pod is ejected from the rocket even if it gets melted a little by the ejection charge. The last 12 inches are to be wrapped back and forth on the engine pod instead of around it. The instructions for attaching the streamer (reproduced here) say to roll all but the last 12 inches of streamer onto the engine pod. I had one person show me the engine pod after a flight and the streamer had not unrolled at all because it was melted slightly at one spot by the ejection charge. Again, the problem is in not reading the instructions carefully. The second problem with X-wing TM Starfighter flights is the flight of the metal tipped engine pod that ejects at the top of the flight path and drops like a bomb into the crowd. It might not be a bad idea to mark all X-wing TM Starfighter flights as heads-up flights anyway. Heads-Up: When doing RSO duty, be sure to check for the clay in the afterburners before approving an X-wing TM Starfighter for flight. Their builders missed the little paper addition to the instructions and left out the clay.ĭrawing 1.
It is pretty obvious now why these little rockets prang into the ground. This clay unbalances the rocket after ejection of the engine pod so that the rocket tumbles to the ground.
#CLONE X WING HOW TO#
That paper (reproduced here) describes how to break that clay into four small chunks and then to insert those chunks into the four afterburner bays. However, what most people miss is the small piece of paper stuck inside the package with the engine, igniter, and a small hunk of clay. Most people could build it without reading the instructions on the back of the package. Assembly consists of gluing on four small fins, attaching a streamer, and applying some stickers.
#CLONE X WING MOVIE#
The Estes X-wing TM Starfighter is a ready built model that looks like an X-wing TM fighter right out of the movie (hence my son's interest in it). However, my son and I had the fortune to build one last month for Cub Scouts and it turns out that the dangerous flight characteristics are caused by building the craft without reading the instructions. I figured that the flight characteristics of this craft were such that we should call a heads-up launch for every Starfighter flight.
