Does it have the sloped control stand in teal, or are my eyes deceiving me? (BTW I need one of those in white if someone has some, I can trade grey or black for it) Just think, a 6990 Futuron monoral with teal accents, wouldn't that look cool?

I just thought I would throw in by 2 cents worth on these 2 sets. First let me say that I do not personally own 4950 but my nephiew got it recently and I helped him put it together so I have first hand knowledge. Personally I think 4950 ( (URL) ) is (...)

(...) I haven't opened my Robotics Discovery Set yet, but from the box, it looks like it comes with 2 clutch gears. The RIS really should have come with clutch gears. (25 years ago, 29-Sep-99, to lugnet.reviews)

(...) Hi, Kevin. I originally gave a response here: (URL) I'll try to give some abbreviated comments again here. I guess my main gripe with the PP is that the two sets of wings are too close together (in my opinion the upper wings should be above (...)

(...) Yes, they are called Tail Draggers because it appears that they are dragging their tails, not because they actually do. Tail Draggers are harder to take off in, you have to do a series of S turns in order to actually see down the runway. And (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.reviews)

(...) Yes , they did have a skid of some type. I put the term "tail draggers" in quotes because I think that was the nick name of the style of landing gear, as opposed to the tripod or "tricycle" style which has a wheel under the front nose and two (...)

(...) They mostly had at least a skid under the tail. I can't think of a plane that actually dragged the back end of the fusalage and the trailing edge of the tailplane along the ground like the BB does. Those WWI and earlier planes were so lightly (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.reviews)

(...) Some of the WW1 planes are "tail-draggers" On my LEGO models I add the LEGO piece thats looks like a 1x2 plate with two rods attached to either end. Lots easier on the tail : ) (...) you dont see the strings tied to the triggers? <grin> (...) (...) (25 years ago, 26-Sep-99, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.reviews)

(...) Yeah, that post was mine. And I almost posted exactly what you just said, but then I realized exactly how much the bar-code set costs. It's nice that these gears are available somewhere else, but it's not exactly an easily accessible somewhere (...) (25 years ago, 26-Sep-99, to lugnet.reviews)
