Very good
great
A big fan of LEGO Technic since I was young (and I'm 40 years old ^^), I had wanted to buy some again for a long time. But, with the social pressure that exists, and in a world where we are "afraid" of what others will think, I only recently took the plunge. Yes, at 40, I thought that buying LEGO was strange or at least immature, but in fact, by reading comments here and there, I realized that I wasn't so strange. As for this particular model, it was a real pleasure to assemble. The last Technic models I assembled were about 30 years ago, and I must say that they have evolved a lot. The instructions are much better and more explicit than they used to be, the design is quite amazing (especially with the easy battery changes, the housing is underneath and the access is relatively simple), it's really well made (the "gearbox" is great), and the fact that these new models are less "skeletal" than the old ones is a very good point, even though the downside is that the different mechanisms are less visible. The only real problem is that I don't have a place to store the assembled LEGOs... currently the helicopter and the Mercedes Arocs (42043) are sitting on the living room table, and I can feel my wife's gentle gaze indicating that it's time to take them down ;-) I have just taken the helicopter down, but only to make room and be able to assemble my new toy: the cargo plane 42025. She'll be happy, my wife ;-) I hope this message will motivate some adults to take the plunge. P.S.: LEGO is great, but it's still expensive.
Incredible design, great technical solutions inside and a bit of a challenge, too. Real fun to build, also works well as a display piece. And it's HUGE. One of my favourite Technic sets to date.
It takes a while to build, but then you have a really nice LEGO model. My son loves the helicopter.
My son (13) was able to spend hours focusing on building it and was able to complete it entirely on his own. The result is a beautiful, large helicopter that he can also play with. Highly recommended.
Easy to assemble, hours of fun building, and the propellers turn on the motor immediately. The 12-year-old (almost 13) was very happy with it.
Sometimes you need to carefully follow the building instructions to see exactly how a particular part should be placed. As always, it's a great project to build. The possibility exists to create a "Chinook-like" aircraft.
Nice model, you will be busy with it for a few days.
It's a pretty big set. It has a lot of pieces and is a rewarding build.
Another great LEGO Technic model, congratulations to the developers for bringing new Technic models with different functionalities to the market again. The coaxial rotor is a special construction method that is particularly used in cargo helicopters. Because the counter-rotating rotors counteract each other, a tail rotor can be dispensed with. This makes the helicopter fly even smoother, which is very important, for example, when lifting the load. The power that would otherwise be needed by the tail rotor can then be used for more lift. Ideal for someone who needs to transport a lot. The instructions are about 180 pages long, as is common with large models, you have to obtain the instructions for the alternative construction set online from LEGO. The bags are not numbered, so you have to unpack everything and get started. The rotor is also a main feature of this set, but the cargo helicopter offers even more. A functioning winch can be released from the cargo compartment, and the flaps also open mechanically. In addition, the loading ramp at the rear can be opened and closed. The switches for this are located on the left and right of the helicopter. The included motor with battery box (batteries not included) drives all the functions. This is also the small disadvantage of the model. Without batteries, almost nothing works. You can manually turn the rotor, but unfortunately you cannot move the rest without energy. The set is nice, but not necessarily suitable for beginners as you have to assemble quite a few gears and mechanisms. If I were to compare this with my most complicated LEGO Technic model, the Unimog, and rate its difficulty with 5 stars, I would rate the cargo helicopter at 3.5. The main rotor is naturally very interesting due to its counter-rotating mechanism, but you cannot adjust it compared to the rotor of the previous helicopter model. Otherwise, the model is top and is just as suitable for playing as for being a highlight in a collector's display case. Unfortunately, LEGO keeps the stickers, I would still prefer if they had remained with the printed parts. I have attached a few pictures, on which you can see the size of the model compared to the rescue helicopter and the current transport aircraft.
