Hi, My technic aeroplane can be viewed through the link on my LEGO page: (URL) has working extendible flaps, ailerons, rudder, elevators, joystick, and six cylinder rotary engine. There are also instructions for some of the features. As usual any (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

It should be simple enough to do, too. Just a solenoid controlling a valve piece molded into a piece of plastic, and with a power attachment on top of it for the control pulses. It might require a bit of fiddling with on-neutral-off settings, maybe (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) You cannot have too many mobile cranes. And that's a fact ;-) A grader would be nice - there was one as an alternative model in the first Technic fork lift truck, but it was very simplistic. Jennifer Clark (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

That Komatsu motor grader looks really cool, but it's not the coolest model around. There are Caterpillar and Case graders around, and some older models of graders still around have the ability to swing the blade to either side. This is done by (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

Yeah i noticed there is a lot of binding in the drivetrain. It seems to be caused by the Perpendicular Axle joiner that is placed in between the bottom suspension arm on the same axle as the bottom of the shocks.. The shocks are also a bit too long. (...)

Similar to what I'm building now I think. I'm using 2 u-joints with 'parallelogram' suspension, and it works ok as long as you make sure that the pivot points for the hub and suspension are vertically aligned witht he u-joint pivot points. That way, (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
