Evel Knievel Skycycle X-2 Papercraft

In 1974, American motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel attempted to jump the Snake River Canyon in southern Idaho in a vehicle known as the "Skycycle X-2". While the vehicle did have two wheels, it was really more rocket than motorcycle. This papercraft version of the X-2 is the work of model rocket enthusiast, Wayne Hill. The model is intended to be used in model rocketry, but I think it would make an interesting bookshelf model as well. The two part template download is near the middle of the page here.
