Hi Dave, I'll take a non Lego part only as a last resort, especially with this project. I think I'll get the Mini-Heli and do some tests. Looks very much like the propellers I got with my Cox engines some time ago. Gearing two old-style technic (...) (26 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

|
|
I just opened a 1761 Paradisa Motorboat (completely sealed) and got a spare pink 1x6 plate, easily the biggest spare piece I've ever got, and in an unusual colour, which makes it even better! Hopefully this happens a lot with this set, so you could (...) (26 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

Radio Shack Canada has an online store ( (URL) ). I found some basic electronic books you may want to order. I'm not sure if they're set up to deliver to France, but I don't see why not, if you paid the shipping. (They even have a French language (...) (26 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
