Hello all,

I build for the first time my MISB 8480 Space Shuttle yesterday.

Needless to say, awesome set.

I was very careful when I built it to make sure that there was no friction
whatsoever between the gears and axles, so the only friction came from the
rubber bands and the Optic Fiber module itself.

My question is: is it normal that the "rotation" of the light in the fibers
is so slow? It rotates about twice every three seconds.

I can't really remember how fast it was, but I do remember mine occasionally
got "stuck" and stopped turning due to friction. So I fiddled around with
the whole back section squeezing bricks together, making sure axles lined up
etc, and after I did that it worked fine.

(...) Ouch, mine never stopped, so I guess I was complaining for nothing after all. (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic)
