“The Aircraft from the Lego Technic series is another well-made model. It was the first of its kind – with rotatable propellers to enable it to take off and land vertically. Also, the design is well-conceived and constructing it is a lot of fun. Moreover, it’s finally another... More model which doesn’t need stickers. All in all, it gets five stars in the overall rating.”

“This impressive set features rotating and tilting propellers, foldable landing gear with a pneumatic mechanism, and nice colors, making it worth having. It also allows for easy addition of Power Functions, though it lacks a seat for a minifigure.”
 

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 Aircraft set 8434 was released in August 2004, retailing for $35, but has since been retired. New, unopened Aircraft sets are valued at $149, while used sets can be found for $43 in good condition.
