After reasonable feedback about the complexity of my first reversible pneumatic engine, I realized there was a very simple mechanical solution that would give reversability *and* variable speed.

I seriously doubt you could build a flying machine entirely from LEGO. I know this may sound like 18th Century scoffing, but there are some good reasons for this. First is that LEGO plastic is quite dense and makes for fairly thick walls compared to (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
