				Seemed too easy.  Just an x-wing <2>.  Did I miss something or just get lucky?

I think neither. The X-Wing is the solution. |

				I also solved this with an x-wing.
 
I then went back to try it again, and for 1.5 hour of struggle, I could not repeat a solution.
 
The x-wing was on 6s in columns 3,8.
 
So what is next? I give up!

That’s the flightless wing. To take off, check the possibilities for 2 in rows 4 and 9.
