- This set represents a fairly olds chool helicopter considering it was released in 1995 but packs a flex system swash plate control and a cool drive-train solution.

Oh yeah, I remember this one perfectly ;) When I was 10, I twisted my ankle and had to wear a brace for two weeks. After the ankle healed, my parents got some compensation for me from insurance - just enough to buy this set ;) I unfortunately lost my childhood LEGO collection 20 years ago, but I reacquired this set a few years ago, when I got into collecting LEGO sets, and now it proudly sits on my shelf :)
I had this as a kid and I cannot remember how often I assembled and disassembled it. I think I could build it without the instructions after the third or fourth time. Anyway, this was a fun set with a great part selection and a number of "new" parts at the time.
I’m genuinely very impressed with the rotor tilting mechanism on a such small-medium model. It could’ve used some brighter colors to make it look a little more exciting. But this is another win for how the Technic/System pieces intertwined back in the day to make those models still feel very LEGO-esque, at least IMHO. :)
My first Technic set ever, 24 years ago.
It felt amazingly complex for 10 year old me.
Had many hours and days of fun using a 9V motor from a defunct cassette player.
The Flex system needs to come back. So many functions could be achieved with it.
The rear differential on your Mercedes G-500 could have been controlled by the cable (If flex system was around).
My friend bought it and give it to me to assemble :) Good old days
I got this recently as part of a bulk lot including some nicer sets that I wanted to keep and some others that I would resell. I intended to sell this as well, but eventually I loved it and kept it. The titling rotor via flex tubes was just too nice a mechanism to give up, even though I already own the larger 8856 helicopter. I believe it is loosely based on the Bell 47 helicopter. Then I built the B model too and posted some instructions on rebrickable on how to power the propeller through the landing gear.
Please make updated version (with some upgraded functions) of this with set, of course with new parts but same size/and look. Thanks for review too.
In so glad I found your channel! Great video!
@@MrZachxd have fun exploring hundreds of videos
Nice presentation - and a lovely model. Flex was rather nice, I have the barcode truck (review that!) using it to great effect.
The round rotor piece with 4 balls (2908) looks like a reuse of car parts, but it's actually exclusive to 8856 and this set 8412.
Unfortunately still hunting for the barcode reader myself.
Grohll can u pls pls make a B model for set 42153 NASCAR . Plss
Tu jsem myslím měl jako kluk ❤
