A knitting needle with wings? A shish-ka-bob skewer with wings? A dart? Whatever this reminds you of it's still kind of neat. Inspired by a reconnaissance craft it's design origins can be found here on SpaceX Central. I guess this would be an example of form-follows-function in that, as a recce bird, it just needs to be fast and it's clean, uncluttered lines are unobstructed by unnecessary armament. One would imagine that below the fuselage are the ports where cameras, radar, and other monitoring gear are aimed at the terrain below. There was no name change to this from SpaceX to GA. The Probe measures 5 1/8" (13.01cm) L x 1 5/8" (4.12cm) wingspan x 1 3/8" (3.49cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Triang SpaceX Needle Probe
Okay, from here on out it'll be nothing but Triang SpaceX - no Golden Astronaut substitute's! The Needle Probe is one of the few SpaceX toys which doesn't have any kind of special operating feature: no hinged canopies, no flying suacer launchers, no projectile firing pods - nothing. It is essentially a straight forward reconnaissance aircraft. It's design origin can be found here on SpaceX Central and measures 5 1/8" (13.01cm) L x 1 5/8" (4.12cm) wingspan x 1 3/8" (3.49cm) H.
