Heavy lift helicopter.
" As an ardent Lego fan of Technics ,I had to have this set when it came out. It took a while to build as I don't sit there till its finished. However it was a great build. It is a big model . It compares in size to the cargo plane ,which I consider big. But a few major fault in the build I think.
1 the string used for the winch is awful i.e. too thin and weedy. Even with the weight on it, it still tangles. Maybe Lego need to source waxed black nylon sail thread that seems to work better.
2 I didn't like how the tail fins just flap about. I know you would have spent ages designing this product, so why fall down with lose flapping tail fins?
3 I feel another motor would have been better for the functions and one motor for the blades
4 Surely some lights could have been included? You need to research anti collision lights ie red flashing .
5 The rear undercarriage, surely some shock absorbers could have been used rather than just loose fitting /flapping undercarriage?
This is a nice product overall ,I understand keeping the cost down. How ever this isn't a cheap product so for a few extra pounds it could be so much better. I hope these points are seen a constructive. I aim to buy the crawler crane next "
I would recommend this to a friend!
