I was inspired by the recent flights at PlasterBlaster of an X-Wing and Y-Wing. ( http://rocketdungeon.blogspot.com/2007/10/empire-struck-back-may-x-wing-rip.html ) So here's my attempt to create a flying X-Wing:
I hope this video has a little more sophistication than my first attempts.
(I'll confess - the real X-Wing did not fly very well. The stunt doubles for the main flights are conventional three-finned rockets.)

Very cool, and impressive performance from a stomp rocket. I posted on this on my blog and added yours to my Google Reader.

I love Origami it is a great skill and excellent way to relax as well, it is great that people put these together for more to learn, I always wonder if you can make things like garden buildings or cathedrals and things like that, it is an amazing skill to learn and always a topic of conversation.
