Radio-controlled model airplanes often have the tubing. You can find Lego-pneumatic-compatible tubing and connectors at hobby shops that sell parts for radio-controlled model airplanes. The airplane tubing has a larger outside diameter than the Lego (...) (25 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

In addition, the air tank has never - AFAIK - been available separately. Until now... :-) Unless someone else steps up (...)

Hi, can anybody comment on the old pneumatic pistons, those in e.g. 8851? They seem to have only one connector, so it seems that you can only push them out, not retract them like the new ones in e.g. 8462. Or is there some spring inside to contract (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)
