A top shot without the RCX would show the three motors, all at the same
height and all axes in parallel with the main axle.
I found a photo that I didn't use on the pages, but that might help. (I'd
take more, but I took the model apart already.)

There's not much to see, except the idler 8t gear between the driving 8t
and the big gear. The idler is on a grey axle/split peg thingie. Hope
this helps.

True, there are some bits from other sets.

The 16x2 plate is a helicopter blade from the 8277 giant model set.
Wow, I wasn't expecting people to build this thing. :) If only
LDraw/LEdit source was available and ported to Linux, I could make this
much easier for you guys.
Play well,
