Ok, I think the most crazy building moment of mine is arriving soon :)
I'v already built a hoovercraft that worked, and had both lift and thrust on
it. The steering was not so good, but that can be sorted out later. But I
have broken the axel (the plastic) on the 4.5v motor, and that was one
important part to get lift with only 9v batterybox. So now I'm going for
something else when I try to repair the motor.
An airplane that works!
Has that been done already maybe?
I now someone made an steering device for an kite glider. But an airplane?
This first atempt have to be an glider too since good working propellers in
LEGO is hard to make. I have the first atempt for an wing almost finished.
Pictures will be up later in the week.
Regards
Øyvind Steinnes

| (...) this. But i'm gonna use conventinal rc parts for power (ie motor, prop, servos) and make the rest of the plane Lego. I don't know how "pure" this is and i don't care.

| Hi Like Tommy Eriksson I have also decided to post a reply to this old thread. I am in the process of trying to make LEGO fly but unlike Tommy, I am going for a small light powered glider that is catapulted from a Technic "ballista-like" affair that (...)
