Øyvind Steinnes's utterance expressed in news:HCKC71.t5z@lugnet.com:
    An airplane that works!

Has that been done already maybe?
I now someone made an steering device for an kite glider. But an
airplane?

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 require
a tremendous wingspan  :)  Even if it is made like the hover-
craft with thin plastic held out by legos.

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.

Looking forward to it  :)  right now I stick to my MTB -
that won't need wings, lift, thrust or anything  :)))


Happy building!

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 (...) (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)
