| | | Hey all, For my latest project, I want to build a medium-size spacecraft with wings angled down at about 30 degrees. I've tried a couple of configurations using Technic beams, but nothing fit exactly. They were all off just enough to tell me that (...) (20 years ago, 25-Sep-04, to lugnet.general)
