“Set 8844 was released under the "Expert Builder"series in 1981. This helicopter features rotating main and tail rotors, and retractable 3 point landing gear driven by chain. For the time, this set had surprisingly little traditional studded construction as the whole frame... More was pinned together.”

“The Helicopter is the first helicopter from the Lego Technic series. It’s assembled from relatively few parts and it’s quite true to the original. Unfortunately, there are only two functions. Moreover, the overall construction is not particularly stable, which slightly ruins... More the fun. But if you compare it to other Lego Technic models of its time, 4 stars are justified in the overall rating.”

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.
