How cool is that!!!! It jetisons it's takeoff cart and is rocket powered, just like the real one. (I assume it is not powered by T-stoff and C-stoff, which exploded on contact.)

I wonder how you know it is about to run out of fuel, so you can be prepared to do your landing run? Anyway, a fantastic model, and great flying as well.
