For wheeled models, a contrate gear below the fuselage connecting to a special geared axle-piece between the front wheels allowed the plane's propeller to rotate when the model was pushed along the ground.

Meccano Aeroplane Constructor Boxed Set O, in fair used condition, instruction leaflet, plus a quantity of used additional Aeroplane parts and a constructed Royal Airforce Bi-plane. However, with the new generation of planes that appeared during WW2, mass-production (and the need to outfly and outfight competing aircraft) made it very worthwhile for designers to fine-tune the shapes, and a Heinkel wing now looked quite different to a Spitfire wing or the wing of a Lancaster bomber.The illustration of the boy constructing a model of the aircraft was also used on the box label for conversion outfits but with a different aircraft illustration, in fact the illustration of the boy appears frequently in 1930's advertising material. Aero Motor had a second driveshaft that could protrude through the bottom of the fuselage and drive a pair of axled wheels via an unobtrusive contrate gear. When Meccano Ltd restarted toy production after the War, Aeroplane Constructor was not one of the lines that came back into production - the toy had had an honorable run, but aircraft design had now advanced too far and become too sophisticated for the concept to work any more. Motor drives the Propellor and also the Landing Wheels, so that the complete model taxies along the ground just like an actual machine. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
