RCX is deffinitly too heavy. But just the 9v batterybox and an 4.5v electric
motor?
Propeller is still a problem with LEGO :(
Hope the LEGO company soon will produce a good propeller that can provide
enough thrust.

Hihi :)
Well I'll think about that later, first have to get it to fly...
No, actually, the landing is no problem where I live at this time of the
year. We have lots of snow here, so the aircraft will have a soft landing.
Thats why I'm building it right now. We have the best weather just now, and
lots of fine white pouder-snow.

Controll is a problem yes, but first step is to make an glider that goes in
a pre-set arc, then I can add things like an rubberband engine (that would
also work for a motor for thrust) that will change the steering in a
pre-"programmet" pattern. And THEN I hope I will get some ideas for
controll...
But now I need a lots of Technic Axle 10 or 12 to get the wing to the needed
size. Wich set is out now that has the largest amount of axels ?
8431 looks promising, I need that set for other parts as well. Other sets?
