    I definitely did'nt expect the individual blade pitch control being realized in a Technic set. The complexity of the assembly seems to push the envelope of what can be achieved using LEGO parts in terms of rigidity and precision. Thanks for the detailed review.

      isn't the controlls in a real helicopter 90 degrees of due to the gyroscopic effect? I you want to roll left in a helicopter the swashplate needs to lean forward and the gyroscopic effect of the spinning rotor will cause the helicopter to roll to the left? (if the rotor is spinning counter clocwise)?

    this is the most interesting pure technic build in a while. Love the complex linkages for the pitch control. All these different functions being simultaeously powered from one motor makes me want a technic robot arm like the Tomy Armatron back from the 80s (also entirely mechanical powered by a single motor).

  • @McKrushi
    @McKrushi 2 года назад +12

    Thx for the great review.
    I think the 'problem' might be, that this model resides in a very technical corner of the technical-design-playability-diagram. So while it - in my opinion - is a realy great set and nails the design-goal, less playability (as a wheel loader for example) and less good looking + not-being-a-car reduces the circle of potential buyers to the, I guess relatively small, group of pure technical enthusiasts or 'idealists'.
    But even if it's not the selling blockbuster it's definitely neccessary to complete the whole roundup.
    And I'm a total fan of the neon yellow. We need more panels in this color! :D

    Now the only question left is: why does it need to be an Airbus? This model is all about the functionality, looks are very obviously secondary. I doubt Airbus holds a patent on the swashplate mechanism, so why couldn't this just have been a non-licensed, generic helicopter?

    Most people don't know this, but to get a real helicopter to pitch forward, you actually adjust the angle of attack of the blades when they are on the sides, NOT the front and back. This is because of the 90 degree phase lag of the huge gyroscope which is the blades.

    This is a super cool/highly functional Technic set. Always enjoy the detailed build/explanations into the functions/parts setup as well as the occasional flourishes of humor. I'm no Technic specialist and as intimidating as this looks to build have always wanted a mid scale Technic helicopter since missing out on the 2012 release. Also huge shame about the Osprey as I would've bought that one in a heartbeat.

  • @chipsnfishnl

    Inserted new batteries today to see the motor functions. Pretty cool. It's just a real pain to unscrew the battery box. You can't easily put the helicopter upside down. So you have a big heavy chopper in one hand, another hand a small screwdriver and good luck! I loved the build.

  • @marklinehan6000
    @marklinehan6000 Год назад

    Hi Balasz, I usually watch your Lego car reviews, but have only just seen this one, the Airbus H175 helicopter. I love aircraft, and while the newly released Concorde is on my “must get” list, I have actually decided to buy the Technic helicopter instead. What really did it for me were all the moving features that you show in your video, associated with rotor pitch, cyclic controls and swash plate. The designer was very clever to have imagined and incorporated these, and it left me wanting to build it. I agree about the transparent stickers/decals looking better, and a pity about the sagging tail, but I am still excited about building this set. I’d love to buy and build Concorde, but need to start saving, as it costs more that the current UK price for the Technic Airbus H175, and while it looked like an interesting build, I don’t think it will be as challenging. I am very grateful for the video, otherwise I could have overlooked this model. Please keep up the good work on your You Tube channel.

  • @nomic655
    @nomic655 2 года назад +3

    I'm pretty sure they didn't really care about the stickers matching the background perfectly, it's not something very visible nonetheless. I believe they made the tail stickers transparent because they couldn't recreate the neon yellow background but it would have been expensive to make every single sticker transparent.
    I believe the 18+ car sets are more designed to be slightly challenging to build and great to display, while the Airbus doesn't look as good visualy. It seems to be targetted more at the educational experience of how helicopters work.

  • @Johan92Johansson
    @Johan92Johansson Год назад +2

    An intresting miss by lego in this set is that all helocopters has there controlls 90 degrees off. When you move the stick left to right the swashplate (the piece at 7.09 ) should move back and forth. This is due to the rotor causing a gyrosocpic effect that rotate the force 90 degrees from the input.

  • @Nam3y123
    @Nam3y123 2 года назад +8

    This review certainly reversed my first impressions of this set. When I first saw it, I thought it would just be another boring licensed set, like an overly-simplified Osprey or Air Race Jet. However, from this review, it seems to be a really well-designed set teeming with interesting functions and building techniques! I also really like the combination of the motor-driven blades and the two-speed gearbox, it makes the speed difference of the gearbox much easier to display than on regular vehicles.
    (Also, on the topic of the barely-visible cyclic controls; I feel like this set does the same thing as the Ducati, where it makes up for its barely-visible complex functions by exposing more of the underlying mechanism in motion. I like this approach far better than what the 1:8 scale supercars do, where the sets tend to hide the engines & force you to flip the vehicle to see the gearbox.)

    Sensationally implemented for Lego standards. The main rotor blade adjustment with the cyclic inputs and the mechanical collective mixer: very well done 👍
    A few years ago I also developed a helicopter with all control functions - but also built in the collective tail rotor adjustment. I find that my version works a bit more elegantly since the whole system doesn't wobble that much. I would be happy if you take a look at the video! Simply enter "Lego Technic Lama Helicopter".

    @alphaomega5721 2 года назад

    Did the design get the precession correct? This is where the pitch change actually occurs 90deg before where one would expect it. For example, with forward cyclic, the change in pitch occurs on the side, 90deg before the rear. Looking from above on, a CW rotating head would see the pitch change on the right for a forward cyclic movement.

Starting with last year's Tow Truck, Lego is bringing back Technic models with Technic functions. I hope that more motorized non C+ sets will follow. On the downside they outsourced B models to the community, which is a shame for Lego at this price tag. But I also wanted to get the DeLorean Time Machine for christmas and a stand up paddling board for next summer holidays. Time to save some money for an expensive christmas.
