Øyvind Steinnes's utterance expressed in news:HCKC71.t5z@lugnet.com: (...) To steer a kite is one thing - to actually make lift - with a battery-driven motor? I am sure it cannot be done using only lego parts - to lift the batterybox alone it will (...) (21 years ago, 31-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) how about using the Williams F1 "shells"? they work(on hovercrafts, anyway.) And as for a motor,how about the 8472's built in 4.5v motor+battery box? It gives two outputs and a lot of torque (never mind the speed:) Then you could have wing (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic)
