Default RE: Working missiles............ really?

I'm sure others will chime in on this one but there was the famous B29(?) that carried an X1-I think, which launched and flew, RC guided. Looked as though it was model rocket powered. I think it crashed at the Joe Nall event in S. Carolina a few years back. It's been written up many times in past mags. It may be the factor that made this OK was that it was capable of being 'flown'. Personally, I think it would look 'cool' and air power would definately be safer because of speed and range than solid fueled. I don't-again personally- see any difference than dropping bombs with talc! The question too, is under what rules you propose to do this where you fly, we're precluded from this by AMA.
