Question: Since I don't know what the z24 exactly looks like on the prop, is it just like the regular gear? Reason I say, I'm curious, because you could use the holes on the gear to pin another z24 to it and then you'd have a place to mount another (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

You inspired me to tinker a bit, but I am still unsuccessful. Putting gears around the z24 to help stabilize it is problematic because, at standard LEGO distances, there is sufficient space between the gears to allow the z24 (and the prop axle) to (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

Ho Mark, This presents a significant problem. I always engineer my gear-trains to include a double "axle grab" on both sides of a gear so the gears flow smoothly. Without that extra stud worth to help anchor the Airscrew, yep could be a problem. But (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)

I have this part (from <set:8855>) and I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to power it to any significant speed. The problem is that the prop and z24 gear are permanently molded to a 3L axle which goes through a 1x4 Technic beam. Having only one (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.technic)
