“The helicopter is the reason why I bought this set. It's very well designed. The only real gripe is that the helicopter really doesn't need a tail rotor because it uses two main blades to counter act the rotational effect a single main rotor would produce. And again, I still... More think the base was a afterthought. Not enough pieces to be really good, and yet, if thy left it out, this set would be missing something for the helicopter to attack.”

“Two units, the ADU (Aerial Defense Unit) and the satellite broadcaster, make up the set. The ADU is the largest and main part. A cockpit that has the ability to house two minifigures is positioned in the front of the helicopter. The cover to the cockpit is also possible to... More open. Pushing and sliding the top portion of the tail (nearest the doors) with your thumb will activate the tri-blades that are positioned atop the helicopter.”
