About this deal

Makes you wonder if they had to build the set to a price, so cut down on parts. Or, if they didn't do enough testing on the set up before approving the final design? Power up your 1,636-piece build with the included battery box and large motor (batteries not included) to bring the toy aircraft model to life. Control the retractable landing gear and rotate the nacelles to switch from vertical take-off mode to flight mode. Helicopter details include a gearbox with four different functions, plus an opening cargo bay door and spinning propellers.

However, I still think that, to avoid damage again, the motor should be switched on before engaging the gearbox to turn the rotors.

It turns out that adding a second set of three gears is actually much simpler. Rather than have one set of gears surrounded by two 3l beams in the middle of the gearbox, why not have 2 sets of gears with one beam between them, like this: On July 21, 2020, LEGO announced that the upcoming LEGO Technic V-22 Osprey had been cancelled. Set number 42113 was an officially licensed model of the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft used by the US Navy, Marines, Air Force and Japanese… The gears in question are right in the middle, so there's not a lot of scope to replace them with anything else. But I did find a solution. I am absolutely crushed. I was really looking forward to this model, and thought the rescue colours were a great compromise.

Set 853 was released under the "Technical Set" series in 1977 in Europe. It made it to the US in 1978 with the number 956 as an "Expert Builder" set. The reddit diagram is interesting, seems which ever function is chosen the transmission needs to go through those middle three gears hence likely to hit the limit of the undercarriage or rear door opening eventually, as well as rotating blades hitting the ground either of which cannot be good. As well as a redesign of the gear box needed, I just don't understand why there are no 24 white clutch gears anywhere to protect the motor and other gears when extremes are reached? LBG for the lower body of the fuselage. There are no new parts or parts in new color in this part, so no need for recolor.They didn't sent in advance one set to their trusted (and sometimes too defending reviewers), and they were so naive to not see coming the fact that @Huw , Sariel and others will spend time and crazy money to get in the end a set because this is their passion.
