I hope they make more airplanes like this. Maybe even as Creator sets, that would be amazing. The engine mechanism is very nice and you see how it's built too which is a good learning experience.
I hope so too. I'd really like a bigger and more detailed model, specifically something like the CL-415 Super Scooper. Two of those came just in time to keep a wildfire from overrunning our town in 2017, and at one point there were four of them flying in a line, dropping water then refueling at a nearby lake.
The function looks great! It immediately reminded me of the 8232: Chopper Force from my childhood, it contained a virtually identical mechanism. Nice review, as always!
Wouldn't be technic without it. Even the smallest technic prop plane sets will have movable propellers that are rotated by driving the plane across the ground
BTW this technics was firstly used in 31094 Lego Creator Plane set) Funny to see it in technic form, it's more complicated here but do the same what classic lego can))
That was very cool. You say it's not licensed, but, lets be honest. It's a cross between a de Havilland Canada DHC-5 Buffalo and a de Havilland Canada DHC-8 Dash 8 first generation. Hey, both Canadian planes! No wait, both EXCELLENT Canadian planes - even down to the colouring (the Buffalo in SAR mode had that paint scheme). Maybe I’ll get this!
I just got this set recently, and I really like it, but I can’t get the rear landing gear to go up, I can force it up eventually, but it’ll fall back down due to gravity and other factors, idk what I’m doing wrong
Excellent building review, Balázs! Now this is what I call proper LEGO Technic. Cool functions, realistic looking without an unnecessary license just to make it more expensive, swooshable, even the color scheme is much better than last years Airbus helicopter. Could it be another M.K creation? How much does this set weigh compared to the Ford GT (which is 10€ more expensive)?
May not look the most accurate, but the functions definitely make up for it. The propeller mechanism is both brilliant super effective. Also builds much larger than expected.
As much as I would've loved a technic Tomcat or a Super Hornet, Lego don't really like doing military vehicles to say the least. But in general Lego should do more aviation, I'm missing a proper airliner or GA aircraft from lego.
@jordanruitenschild4683 I agree. Considering what happened to the Lego Osprey, I think modern military aircraft are not happening again. I just want something new that is really detailed, like the 10226 Sopwith Camel was. An airliner would be amazing.
That propeller mechanism reminds me of the big red helicopter from 4403, there it was even cooler as you could press the sides of the helicopter to make the rotor spin. Also it had the landing gear system much quicker. An amazing set way ahead of its time!
Nice review of a set that turns out better than expected. I can advise you to check out set 4403 (Air Blazers) from 2003, which has a very similar mechanism to drive the helicopter rotor. And a very cool landing mechanism to boot. And that all in a Creator-like set;)
Opening these types of boxes with a knife always gives me a strange feeling, since they’re supposed to be opened with your thumbs. I always use my thumbs. Don’t take my previous statement too seriously, as I know that you do that to do as little damage to those boxes as possible, but I’m the type of person that never goes against the instructions. The instructions say to open with your thumbs, so that’s how I do it. Anyways, I really love this set. Despite me being almost 20, I absolutely LOVE running around really fast with this airplane while pulling the lever to spin the propellers! I felt like a 7 year old kid again and not a lot of technic sets do that these days to me. This set is absolutely fantastic and wonderful!
still waiting for a licensed plane.... The resale values on the old 787 model are insane, so the market is there. And obviously, they have licensing from both Airbus and Boeing already. So where's my 747 or 777x or A350??
Last time you called the ailerons "flaps". You got it right this time. For some reason that makes me for more happy than it should. The "elevator" also! Actually, that's a stabilator, but only because it combines the non-moving "horizontal stabiliser" with the elevator. Those aeronautical engineers have a lot of fun with names. Ailerons + flaps = flaperons, elevators + ailerons = elevons, and so on. Love your videos!
"Not licensed" As it's just a very copyright friendly CL-415. Probably not hard to mod it to look like the real aircraft, just extend the wings and build up the tail more.
As soon as I saw those 2x2 "water" pieces I thought hey, LEGO is finally taking seriously the problem of droppable/fireable pieces from play features going missing in the carpet...
I am a bit skeptical. What is happening to Lego ? It would not have taken much to make this set really close to the real "CANADAIR" Firefighter airplane. But here, it looks like they stopped the design and development half way. Why ?
this is clearly based on one of the Q family of aircraft likely a Q300 so props should turn in the same direction. also the gear not lifting the aircraft would be realistic. IF some how you sat any aircarft on its belly and tryed extend the gear it would fail. fixing the prop direction would be easy by just flipping one gear sets around.
Scale looks off, needs to be shorter in length and wider in the fuselage and a wider wing. To many manual functions for my taste in a Technic, but would be interesting what two of these sets could make with a couple of motors. Sea plane maybe. For now it’s a pass.
This is the coolest set of this wave in my opinion. It looks really nice and the functions are great as well. I am going to buy because i'm into planes. Great video
Would be more appealing if they had just chosen a better color scheme than this McDonald's Happy Meal look. The black in the nose cone is also unbalanced.
we definitely need more aircraft! .. more functions as with the cyclic in the rescue 'copter a plane with yoke controlling flaps, ailerons etc. Maybe a fighter jet, old style sweep wing F14 or cool looking typhoon / F35. Airliners like concorde or old miliary 4-engine bombers. Maybe even a titanic-sized aircraft carrier with small jets.
Does anyone know what this aircraft is based off of in real life? Or is it like a Frankenstein plane with features from a bunch of different real life models combined into one?
As a kid I´d be of course running around with the plane and pressing the propeller mechanism at the same time while making airplane noises, so you could use both hands x>
YES. REVVABLE ENGINE. The last set that could do that was the Mustang looking Creator set from....2014? Basically a P-51 Mustang in awful colors. Might pick this one up. Thanks for the review RB.
I Like the older planes with less panneling but instead more functions better. I.e. with a "joystick" controlling elevator and aileron at the same time. IMHO doing more building and less functions apart from licensed cars ist not a good direction. (And I'm an aviation fan)
That ratcheting propeller mechanism reminds me of 31011, the Creator 3in1 set called Aviation Adventures, where the tail gear can be pumped back and forth in a similar way to spin the propeller. It's done much more simply than here too where a rubber piece acts like a spring to allow the gears to engage one way but not the other, if I remember correctly.
I can totally imagine a mod where you add a sort of a pistol grip below so you can swoosh the plane while triggering the engines all with one hand.
bro... how old are you

@@wikkidize Bro, why are you here? You obviously never did something for others in your life.
@ That's a pretty smart modification for this set

I’d certainly agree
The function looks great! It immediately reminded me of the 8232: Chopper Force from my childhood, it contained a virtually identical mechanism. Nice review, as always!
Also the Creator 31011 Aviation Adventures. Same slide back and forth with a ratchet for spinning the propellor. Great combo of Technic and System
Yes, 8232 also sprung into my mind first when seeing the gear rack ratcheting mechanism. Glad to have it in my Technic collection too.
i really like that they added actual mechanism to the propellers. nice set
Wouldn't be technic without it. Even the smallest technic prop plane sets will have movable propellers that are rotated by driving the plane across the ground
Lego Technic set 8232 "Chopper Force" from '97 have similar gear rack teeth-skipping design!
BTW this technics was firstly used in 31094 Lego Creator Plane set) Funny to see it in technic form, it's more complicated here but do the same what classic lego can))
It's funny to me how many people sign off with "see you next time". 😄
This set gives me same vibes as that old red jet technic set I had in childhood
That mechanism is very similar to the one in Lego Agents 8971 Arial defense unit. Loved that set as a kid
It’s very nice! Has that mechanism like this been used before, a ratchet trigger and a flywheel of sorts for the engines?
I totally forgot about this set!
That was very cool. You say it's not licensed, but, lets be honest. It's a cross between a de Havilland Canada DHC-5 Buffalo and a de Havilland Canada DHC-8 Dash 8 first generation.

nice engine function but I prefer the fire bi plane set from several years ago
Muito bom.. obrigado.
This is one of the coolest technic planes, tottally gonna bjy this
mehh
Edit: Hold up, the propelers spinning are actually cool
Without licensing its authentic lego model,but who really wants that these days°?
when are the mclarens on youtube
Lego is turning into PlayMobil.. :/
Hahaha :D
I'd say this set is actually what technic is really about. Nice, simple model with some awesome play feature.
May not look the most accurate, but the functions definitely make up for it. The propeller mechanism is both brilliant super effective. Also builds much larger than expected.
That mechanism looks alot like the one inside 4403 Air Raiders, one of the greatest Creator Helicopters ever IMO.
Hoping Lego aviation continues to increase the realism
I’d like to see some fighter jets. Like licensing from Top Gun and paramount
As much as I would've loved a technic Tomcat or a Super Hornet, Lego don't really like doing military vehicles to say the least. But in general Lego should do more aviation, I'm missing a proper airliner or GA aircraft from lego.

I love Technic Aircraft sets, hopefully we can get them more often in the future :)
It’s amazing how you’re able to upload so often while still making brilliant videos! I’ve been excited to see you’re review of this set. Great video!
I miss those days when we all build legos in are bedrooms
That propeller mechanism reminds me of the big red helicopter from 4403, there it was even cooler as you could press the sides of the helicopter to make the rotor spin. Also it had the landing gear system much quicker. An amazing set way ahead of its time!

"Play features" are actually what people call "functions" which we need more in Technic. So more play features likes this!
I love the mechanism of the propellers..good video. I give you a like
When wil you do the speedchampions McLaren 2pack
Definitely this airplane is trying to be a DHC 5
Last time you called the ailerons "flaps". You got it right this time. For some reason that makes me for more happy than it should.

Nem tudnám elégé hangsúlyozni, hogy milyen jó, hogy angolul csilálja ezeket a videókat. Szerintem iskolákban kellene használni, mint kiegészítő anyag!
Beauty. Can't wrap my head around that gearing mechanism
"Not licensed" As it's just a very copyright friendly CL-415. Probably not hard to mod it to look like the real aircraft, just extend the wings and build up the tail more.

This function makes me feel like this is the first actual Technic set they've made in years.
I am actually getting it on October 21 because it was my birthday day on. Sep 6

Beautiful propeller function.
Too bad 60x60cm aircraft are so hard to store :S
This is the coolest set of this wave in my opinion. It looks really nice and the functions are great as well. I am going to buy because i'm into planes. Great video
Lego found a way to re-use the mysterious Osprey set pieces lol
EDIT: speak of the devil...
But can it fly? 🤔😅
everything can fly... for a while :)
@@RacingBrick 🤣
Yeah! Im soooo excited for this one! Nice reviews Racingbrick!
Great review. Just confirms yet again Technics ain’t for me😂. No patience
I love this set sooo much I might get 2 copies of this so I can upgrade it from a Q300 to a Q400
Maybe add an electric motor for the propellers? Back in the day many technic kits where skeletons, so really nice to see complete models nowadays.
the same mechanism for propeller was in old helicopter 8232. And there you could do it with one hand
I think I'll get this one only because of the fire fighting/water dropping
Very impressive propeller mechanism! I hope we will see more mechanisms like that in the future
On my plane my landing gear under the propellers they don't work at all how to I fix it
my birthday was yesterday so i really want to get this for myself to build
I messed up while adding the gears I forgot to refract the front tear and know it won’t work
This’ll be great for some kids to easily mod it to a bomber aircraft
The appearance is a bit of a blend of the De Havilland Twin Otter with the later Dash 8
It is the worst lego technic plane ever, look like a worst dhl version plane.
뭔가 유명한 브랜등디 라이센스가 아니어도 충분히 멋있고 색상이 독특한 비행기👍
I hope Lego will make a set of the old plane the DC3. It will look awesome 😎
Which one would you recommend more this fire plane or Ford gt
I have this at the top of my christmas list this year so im really excited to see if i get it 😮
When I was a kit I had a Technic set with a very similar mechanism but even more compact, it was in set 8232 Chopper Force
just wanted to say the same. 1997 year
Would be great to see à DC3 detailed as the airbus helicoptere
11 months on and I scored it for 75% off, new in box
I wish there was a switch so that the engines were automatic spinning
Would be more appealing if they had just chosen a better color scheme than this McDonald's Happy Meal look. The black in the nose cone is also unbalanced.
Lots of firefighting planes are that colour!
This plane looks so cool! As an aviation and Lego enthusiast, the firefighter plane looks a whole lot like a Bombardier Dash Q400
we definitely need more aircraft! .. more functions as with the cyclic in the rescue 'copter a plane with yoke controlling flaps, ailerons etc. Maybe a fighter jet, old style sweep wing F14 or cool looking typhoon / F35. Airliners like concorde or old miliary 4-engine bombers. Maybe even a titanic-sized aircraft carrier with small jets.
It’s an interesting set for sure
"a box with two wings" - well said :) But the propeller mechanism is really cool, it reminds me a red copter from 90th
At the minute 05:00 on the right side, a model with adjustable propellers appears. What number does this model have?
42113 but it was cancelled after a small number went on sale
Tuti megveszem. Egyből megtetszett, ahogy megláttam. Köszi a tippet a radírral. Működik és felületet sem karcol, bár görcsbe állt a kezem a végére. :D
Now to get RCFlight to make it actually fly
Does anyone know what this aircraft is based off of in real life? Or is it like a Frankenstein plane with features from a bunch of different real life models combined into one?
Dhc 5 dhc 8 and the q 400
For the size and functions, not bad for $100. I'll be adding that to my collection. As always, your builds and opinions are greatly appreciated.
The nose is the only thing I don't quite like
I give most Technic planes a pass, but that propeller driving mechanism is super clever, and mimics a lot of children's toys.
As a kid I´d be of course running around with the plane and pressing the propeller mechanism at the same time while making airplane noises, so you could use both hands x>
YES. REVVABLE ENGINE. The last set that could do that was the Mustang looking Creator set from....2014? Basically a P-51 Mustang in awful colors. Might pick this one up. Thanks for the review RB.
Im gonna buy it and mod it to a ww2 bomber😂
Is that supposed to be a CL-415?
I might ask to get this for my birthday
I Like the older planes with less panneling but instead more functions better. I.e. with a "joystick" controlling elevator and aileron at the same time. IMHO doing more building and less functions apart from licensed cars ist not a good direction. (And I'm an aviation fan)
That’s a q400 right there 💀
Many people don’t like the Technic theme very much, but I think it’s the most interesting and exciting theme! Also, Awesome job! 🎉
That ratcheting propeller mechanism reminds me of 31011, the Creator 3in1 set called Aviation Adventures, where the tail gear can be pumped back and forth in a similar way to spin the propeller. It's done much more simply than here too where a rubber piece acts like a spring to allow the gears to engage one way but not the other, if I remember correctly.
I have been waiting all week for this video 🎉🎉
Thank you for your wonderful review ! Now I expect that you install a pull back motor getting loaded through the handle of the propeller mechanism...
When’s the Batcycle video
I compare this one with the other fire plane: 42040. That's a really cool set as well, nice to see an update (and this set is much bigger).
Bro has the rare v22 osprey!
Question: Do you know if the place where the water goes can fit like a hotwheels car? A hotwheels car is like ~4 studs wide by maybe 9 studs long?
Thank you from Türkiye .
Really simple and also effective set with cool features but the price is disappointing.
Yeah
