“There are a whole lot of helicopters in the Technic line, and although Chopper Force is only medium sized, it has some of the best play features of any of them. The main and tail rotors are operated by a lever which can be pushed with the same hand that holds the... More helicopter, allowing simulated flight. Other helicopters typically use a crank on the side which requires another hand.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“This LEGO set truly shines with its ingenious hand-powered rotor mechanism, allowing for high-speed control with just a thumb push. The sturdy build, impressive playability, and the ability to fly the helicopter one-handed make it an outstanding choice for any helicopter enthusiast. Highly recommended for those who appreciate clever technical features!”
 

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.
Summary
Technic Chopper Force set 8232 was released in January 1997, retailing for $25, but has since been retired. New, unopened Chopper Force sets are valued at $113, while used sets can be found for $38.
