Elenco Snap Circuits Motion - Manual (Page 27)

Assemble the airplane using the
instructions on page 5, install the
light motor (M7) into the front of it,
build the circuit shown here, and
connect the red & black jumper
wires to the light motor (red to “+”).
Spread out the jumper wires and
be sure they will not interfere with
the fan on the light motor.
Place the airplane on a smooth
surface and turn on the slide
switch (S1). The fan on the light
motor spins and lights, and the
airplane slowly moves around due
to vibration.
Project 27 It’s a Plane!
Project 29
Idling Plane
Project 30 Light Plane
Use this circuit, mount the color LED (D8) on the airplane and the red &
black jumper wires to it (red to “+”).
Turn on the slide switch (S1) and the LED shines. The plane will not move.
Project 28
Low Power
Plane
Use the preceding circuit, but
replace one of the battery holders
(B1) with a 3-snap wire. The
circuit works the same but is
much dimmer, giving some
interesting effects. For best
effects, view in a dimly lit room.

!
WARNING: Moving parts. Do not
touch the fan during operation.
Use either of the two preceding circuit, but replace the light motor (M7)
with the geared motor (GM). Place the 2.55” gear on the “+” shaft of the
geared motor, and mount the geared motor on the plane as shown.
Turn on the slide switch (S1) and the gear spins like a propellor. The plane
appears to be idling with the motor running, and getting ready to take off.
