BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The final product, a helicopter with operational rotors and a winch, showcases functional features. However, the small knob used to operate these functions might be a slight ergonomic inconvenience, a problem mitigated by attaching a crank. The alternate model, a seaplane, while using fewer pieces, maintains an appealing aesthetic with its red and white color scheme.”
 

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
