PANGU 13003 Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey

let me start with Wow! the completed build is sturdy, as can be expected from a good tecniq construction. The single, included power module drives 4 separeate functions controlled by clutch levers on the side. The delivery was complete with all parts, everything fit well and tight. The instructions were largely reasonable to follow, but this is NOT a trivial/easy build-especially the gearbox/drive system. There were several points in the manual where exact part was not quite clear, several in the gearbox... and as others noted, the wing aileron lift with the engine tilt isn't quite complete in the instructions. I manged to get it working without any added parts though... The red side-clutch controls manage 1-the blade spinning; 2-blade vertical/horizontal tilt; 3-landing gear up/down; 4-rear cargo open/close. There is a manual lever for the rear tail tilt. It does have a number of stickers for full completion. As stated in the shipping terms, the power module was a separate delivery that took longer. I had to wait for this, but it was worth it. I really like this set. I rebult it a few times to better understand how the clutching and routing gearbox of the power drive works to the functions. Some parts were challenging to follow and I had to backtrack sometimes to get it exactly right... didn't understand even remotely how it was working until it was completed. My older eyes may have had some to do with trying to interpret this.

I really like this set. I dismantled it to to better understand how the clutching and routing gearbox of the power drive works to the functions. I had to redo the 3 times to get it exactly right... didn't understand even remotely how it was working until it was completed. My older eyes may have had some to do with trying to interpret this. It is pretty amazing.

Good build, clever mechanics, good quality bricks. Instructions are small so mistakes are easy to make, but not a problem overall. Excellent display piece when finished. Recommended for fans of technic and/or aviation.
