Buyer Reviews

This model is so cool that I do not want to take it apart so I can create the B model! So this critique is for the A-model only. On to the pro's and con's...
Pro's:
1.Good color scheme.
two.The best knob turns the best and back rotors at the same time!
3.Landing gear is great and operates genuinely well.
4.Stickers (especially the cockpit ones) are cool looking.
five.Lots of detail!
6.Fine play size and also looks fantastic on display!
7.Hook can hold a minifig by the leg and seat is the correct size for 1!
Cons:
1. Winch is slow to turn and can be particularly squeaky.
2.It really is tough to tie the thread on the wheel.
three. Fairly pricey.
four.No alot more!
Great set and if you can afford it, acquire it!

Wonderful LEGO copter. Once you get started placing this together then it really is tough to stop.
My four year old (practically 5) and I have been operating on it off and on. It really is too difficult for him to do by himself but with an adult's support it is a terrific parent/child "puzzle kind project". The pieces fit together well, the directions are clear, and it's quite cool searching. 5 stars.
A minor quibble: I wish it included a helicopter pilot but it does not.
