when i think of lego plane
i have some problems (questions)

i can imagine the wings and the fuselage
but the propeller and the motor it is problem
the battery box or rcx is a little bit heavy

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.

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 mounted propellers.
LMKWYT.

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?

8461 or 8468 both have lots of axles.

-good luck, Matthew Jeffery

P.S, while we're on the subject of wind (sniff...), how about two fans on a
hovercraft? And can anyone send me plans of how they put the plastic on?
