4 engines are supposed to be chainsaw motors.

I doubt HiTech will allow an X1 to play with, maybe the training arena?

In case anyone has forgotten, or didn't know, the X-1 was the first aircraft to break the sound barrier and was flown by "Chuck" Yeager, and was indeed carried aloft by a B-29 over the Mojav desert. This is a fine RC example of that famous flight, including the rocket engine in the X-1!!

Chuck Yeager's breaking of the sound barrier was the first "official" flight to break the sound barrier when he did it on 10/14/1947.  However, North American test pilot George Welch "unofficially" broke the sound barrier a couple of weeks earlier during a test flight when he dove the XP-86 and broke the sound barrier.
