Star Wars BLING

	Model:	Snowspeeder Type-R (Snowspeed-R)
	Stock:	Set 7130
	Upgraded Features:	Rear spoiler, Revised controls, much bigger engines, side-wing spoilers, scorpion graphics, auxiliary turbocharger.

In the stock Snow Speeder, the co-pilot has a targeting computer and is in charge of the rear tow-cable gun.

The Snowspeed-R also has a copilot station (although there was much debate on removing it to put in a hot tub). The duties are vastly different, though. As noted previously, the Tibanna tubro-charge system is so touchy that it takes the undivided attention of the co-pilot to engage it safely.

When in "Run Away!" mode, the co-pilot also fires the rear-facing Ion cannons. However, the secondary function of the co-pilot is now collision detection and range-finding.

"There's nothing worse," remarks ace co-pilot Dak Jr., "than having to pick shredded Wampa meat out of the intake vents. After a couple times you learn to dodge those smaller blips, too."
