8425 and 8836?  Nah - the best Technic plane is <set:8855> IMO

I'll bet you a Technic piece of your choice that you won't be able
to order the parts for THAT one.  That prop attached to a gear piece
has to be one of the most rare pieces going.  (Name me something rarer.)

Here are some other very rare technic parts...
locking rings from 8880 as used in the suspention
white suspention arms from 8865

and there are plenty of rare system parts including the monorail cover
from the airport shuttle.

And there are plenty of rare decorated parts like the guarded inn sign
and the nasa logo torso from that rare space shuttle set.

But are any of these rarer than that propellor? I wouldnt have a clue.

(...) The 8858 has a small gear rack with two lobes on one side which is used for steering. I think that this piece is only found once as well. (24 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) If you are going to include printed parts, UNICEF 1x3x4 panels in blue. I _think_ that they are amongst the rarest post 1980 pieces made. I haven't a clue as to pre 1980 stuff, esp. for survival. (...) Well, there were around 6K of the panels (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)
