My son and I liked the looks of a couple of the caster-style wheels
(aircraft?) and some of the nostalgic ones like I had when I was his age...
but I'm sure we can find something interesting in there when it gets here!
The four-bladed props turned out to be a not "needed", my son produced one
here and proceeded to show me how it wouldn't work on a Technic axle... :) I
wish he'd focus all his knowledge on how to make things WORK instead of NOT
WORK...I've been fighting a problem for the last hour...
