The X-10 was a testbed for the SM-64 "Navajo" missile created in the early 50's that was planed to carry nuclear warheads to launch at the Soviet Union in case they had launched nukes at the United States. This example in simpleplanes is a 60% scale model (By weight), and it preforms as it should. It has a very low drag profile allowing it to fly relatively fast at low altitudes. It can be put into a spin if turned at more than 7g's, so be careful when turning. It is most stable at 8000m and 1000 kph and has a maximum climb rate of 10,000 meters per minute.
