ABOUT THE DESIGN:    ABOUT THE MODEL:
Built by Incom, the same company responsible for the legendary X-Wing Starfighter, the T-16 was a two-man pleasure/utility craft manufactured for civilian use.  Because its cockpit and control layout were similar to its military counterpart, the T-16 was often used as a training vehicle for pilots assigned to the X-Wing.

In fact, the so-called "Skyhopper" was never seen in action in any of the "Star Wars" movies.  Its only appearance was as a partially built mock-up sitting in the Skywalker family garage and as a scale model "flown" by Luke Skywalker during his first conversation with droids C-3PO and R2-D2.
