LEGOTechnic Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter 42145, Educational Model Building Set for Kids, with Spinning Rotors and Motorized Features, Construction Toy

The media could not be loaded. Great instructions, great build, loved the challenge. I wasn’t sure if I would have the patience to build the air bus but I took it one step, one bag at a time…and successfully completed it. Not bad for a 63 year old woman.

The media could not be loaded. Very technical so take your time and double check. So happy with the end result! Heli is freakin big! Very fun build!

Husband loved it. Said it was the most challenging set he’s built yet. Many functions to make it like a real helicopter. Really impressive.

This is great for any kid. My son is autistic and can barely use scissors but he builds Lego technic models without breaking a sweat. One of the few activities he can do without being distracted. He only needs me to keep him from skipping steps, and help with stickers. All of the functions of this model are awesome- landing gear, winch and rotors. A pretty good analog for the actual mechanics of a helicopter, too. The yokes control a pseudo-swashplate to change pitch and the rotors have two speeds. I would have been thrilled with this thirty years ago when I was in the lego zone. Power transmission and gearboxes are much improved since then- Legos are still expensive but unlike every other company, it seems like they actually still care about quality. Parts are as robust as ever. If I'm going to go broke, it might as well be from buying toys that are actually used and are intellectually stimulating.

Purchased as a gift. Well received. Took a good weekend to assemble. Can be tricky if you are not patient and do not follow the directions as indicated. It is not for someone who is easily frustrated. Directions are clear and the pieces are divided into specific bags to help with building. The best features are the similarities to the actual helicopter and the overall detail LEGO provides. It has working landing gear, rotors and winch. Once assembled the blades work and it is realistic. Does require batteries. The piece itself is big so be prepared to have space to place. Lots of little pieces so be careful around little ones and pets. Hopeful LEGO comes out with other technic aircraft with that level of sophistication. LEGO did not disappoint! Love it!

could not get rotors to rotate and front wheels would not stay down

I LOVE TO WORK/PLAY WITH LEGOS. BUT I DON'TLIKE TO HAVE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF BUILDING AND HAVE TO WAIT FOR MISSING PARTS. I HAVE 1000'S OF EXTRA PARTS, BUT MANY TIMES THE ONE I NEEDED I DON'T HAVE.

The media could not be loaded. You can use finger to control the York or the shaft (whatever it’s called) to control the blades, just like the real heli. It’s very cool!Not sure if we made a mistake, but when landing gear and the hook reach limits, the motor or the gear box is clicking. It would be better it doesn’t make that noise. But it’s a minor issue for me.

Awesome to build!

Llego un porque tarde pero llego bien y es un buen producto. Me encanto el helicóptero

Ele amou muito. Um nível de dificuldade um pouquinho acima do que ele costuma montar mas valeu a pena.

C'était un cadeau de Noël et mon fils a bien aimé, de plus il y a un moteur électrique pour faire tourner les pales de l'hélicoptère et cela fonctionne.... Merci!

tenia uno hace 15 años, lo estoy retomando...
