I LOVE that flexible axle. it's what I had hoped for when the Indy Storm and
other sets of that age came out, but those are decorative only. This one does
useful things!
My kids had great fun just building the various models in the idea book. ZNAP
is to be commended for giving out an idea book with lots of ideas (at least in
the larger sets, I havent opened the smaller ones yet, but I think I am only
the polybags short of being ZNAP complete).
The ones I thought were most fun were the track following vehicles which are in
the helicopter transport set. That has lots of green arch strut thingies too.

That's on a need to know basis. Just kidding. Actually, yes indeedy, that is
exactly what I intend. As I related at the time of Nik's Shinkasen, I had a
little ZNAP already and did a baby truss just to see what can be done. Note
that Matt Chiles has a very nice black and grey truss up at his site, which was
incorrectly attributed to me the last time I pointed at it.
Right now I have a lot of it (over 800 USD worth) and so the possibilities are
more sweeping. If I could only find time.
PS ZNAP does have the same thumb soreness problem that KNex does, eh?
