Figured I'd post an update of my latest progress for this project with the MPC scale.  Successfully motorized it.  Motors are internal and soon so will be the electronics and power supply.  Folding wing root panels have been successfully incorporated into the wing mount mechanism.  My goal of a completely tether and armature free model X-Wing is nearing reality.  Here are some pictures.

Wings closed with engine test LED's wired up.

Wings open.  Engine light wires are only exposed as engine details in the bay.  Otherwise they are completely hidden.
