forget the TLC propellers
the can be used with rubber belt-powered device (maybe) but not

yeah
so we can stop talking

If you want to use other components and build an aircraft, fine.  But that's not

do it as the first one
then all members will remember you
even if you will use a few non lego parts

ie remember the glider
