Not all LEGO Technic models have to be big. There should also exist smaller models, that are affordable, and suitable as casual gifts for different occasions. However these models have to be exciting, and appealing, and have some functions.
About the model:
- This small LEGO Technic helicopter is made from 63 parts.
- The main rotor, and the tail rotor, spin when you turn the cross axle that sticks out on either side of the helicopter.
- The gear ratio causes the main rotor, to spin faster than the cross axle that is used for turning it, and the tail rotor to spin faster than the main rotor. One of the pictures shows how this works.
- The tail rotor is mounted on to a friction pin.
- There are a few images of the helicopter in different colors, so that it is easier to visualize other alternatives.
- The background image is a picture of the sky, here in Iceland, this afternoon.
Why I think this would make a great LEGO set:
- It has realistic functions, even though it is tiny, and it is easily recognizable.
- It has great play value, and can be a good fidget toy.
- I chose to use some existing LEGO parts in uncommon colors. This would make it appealing for LEGO enthusiasts, even though it is so simple to build.
- The helicopter is small enough to be a casual gift, or a birthday present for a friend at school. It can also be offered as a reward after a visit to the dentist, or something similar.
