LEGO Technic Firefighter Aircraft 42152 Reviewed!

Hello I'm Ricky here with a look at the Lego Technic firefighter aircraft set Number 4152 whenever Lego Technic Releases a large airplane like this it Is always an exciting time but does the Lack of a gearbox prevent it from being A good set let's find out first let's Start with the box which looks pretty Good let's open it up and see what's Inside we get four numbered bags three Of these 3×19 frames two of these brand New curved panel pieces which are Absolutely amazing take a look at them From every angle we also get the sticker Sheet as well as the awesome Instructions here's the complete parts List for this set the building process Starts with the following gear rack Module we add a rubber band here and This is the start of the mechanism that Activates the propellers then a 3×19 Frame is added followed by some more Beams now this is the most interesting Part of the build we add a few gears and Some more are added and now we can see Exactly how this mechanism works the Gear rack activates the gear system Which actually has a massive increase in Speed the gear system uses a one-way System for the gear rack so that it can Go back without spinning the propellers Backwards then this strange part is Built up which is connected on the Inside to reinforce the structure then

The following axle with the flip-flop Beam is connected this part slides and It will later serve as part of the Landing gear mechanism this is a pretty Cool module with a 16 tooth gear as well As a beam setup it connects on top of The rest of the structure next the front Wheel land gear is constructed and we Attach a linear actuator portion here This is essentially the front of the Fuselage as I'm spinning the axle which Connects to the linear actuator notice How both the flip-flop beam move as well As the axle hole here it's a very Interesting mechanism we add a front tip To the nose of the fuselage and the First stage is complete the second bag Starts with the following panel module And is Simply Connected onto the Skeletal fuselage here we have a cover Section and we added to make the Openable Water Bay we build up this Actually using the 3×19 frame and it Attaches to elongate the fuselage a Shock absorber connects to the openable Bay door and is responsible for holding The door in either the opened or closed Position of course we add a bunch of Panels onto the other side notice just How thin this fuselage actually is now a Lever is added and this function works Very well the top is reinforced with Some beams and so is the bottom before The top part is paneled up I'd like to

Show you the beautiful mechanism once Again look at all those gears it's such A beautiful function a bunch of panels Are added on top covering this amazing Mechanism some small 12 tooth gears are Added on either side of the landing gear Axle and the second stage is complete we Start with the following black section Which connects to the nose of the Airplane a few more small panels and Beams are added and we also build up the Following section using those brand new Yellow panel pieces that we saw earlier These go in the front and then the nose Panels roll up creating the shaping some Flexible axle pieces are added on either Side then some red panels are secured to The bottom now we focus on the reader Section by adding some panels here there Is also a panel on top and now we build The vertical stabilizer which attaches Just like so some large panel sections Are attached to either side then the Following yellow part is constructed Which connects here serving as the Opening part that allows you to add Bricks here the elevators are secured on Top of the tail by the way this control Surface is actually movable which is Great next we have to work on the wings We extend the four axles two of which Will power the propellers while the Other ones will be responsible for the Landing gear this big panel section is

Constructed which goes on top of the Airplane expanding the wings some beams Are added to reinforce everything and Now we start working on the engines by Adding a red panel here a 90 degree gear Suction is built up which becomes part Of the engine directly behind the gear Module we add a landing gear mechanism Speaking of which here's how the rear Landing gear actually looks like it is Connected below the engine and then we Reinforce it with another panel then the Wing is just expanded further outwards Followed by some Technic beams now we Simply build the engine on the other Side and you already know how everything Works here since we just did the right Side by the way when retracted the Landing gear goes inside of the engine After we complete the wing on its side We build up the following aileron Modules which are connected to the wings The engines expand forward we attach the Propellers as well as some curved red Panels on top of them before we take a Look at all the functions make sure to Subscribe to receive my review of the Rest of the March sets no pressure Though no pressure my favorite function Of this airplane is easily the ability To pull back the lever below the Airplane and activate the propellers it Is so satisfying and it is honestly the Perfect stress reliever for me it is

Similar to a stress ball because with a Ball you have to squeeze it with force And with this you have to pull the lever With force and for some reason it just Gives you a level of satisfaction that Simply cannot be explained with words by The way if you spin them fast enough Eventually the blades Can Fly Away due To the centrifugal force I love running Around with this airplane while moving The propellers it is so much fun to play With there is a small knob on either Side of the airplane which is Responsible for the landing gear Mechanism the front wheel just goes Inside of the fuselage but the rear Wheels retract below the engine it is Very satisfying to look at and it Functions in a very cool way it is Similar to how the landing gear Works in A q400 airplane but in that one the Landing gear goes to the rear and not to The front if you know of a real-life Airplane where the landing gear works Exactly like the one in the Lego model Folding right under the propeller please Let me know in the comments by the way You actually have to turn it quite a lot In order for the landing gear to fully Retract or deploy so eyes are just just Sliding your finger along the gear knob For maximum efficiency behind the wings You can open up some panels which Reveals a compartment to which you can

Add water in the form of round two by Two transparent blue bricks I tried Adding real water but it just instantly Leaks out and it won't stay even a Little inside you can see a shock Absorber which simply locks the open and Closed positions of the door you can fly Up to something open the Water Bay and Then fly away it's a pretty fun play Feature I thought I should point out That the door cannot open all the way When the airplane is on the ground this Is not a complaint but rather just an Observation the airplane does have some Control surfaces like the ailerons Unfortunately they're not connected so When you move the one on the left wing With the one on the right wing does not Move the elevator can also move but Unfortunately there is no Rudder also I Appreciate how well balanced this Airplane is the center of gravity is Basically right on the black stripe of The Wings it is located almost in the Ideal location what surprised me the Most is actually just how thin the Fuselage of this airplane is it is only 7 studs wide which is 5.6 centimeters or 2.2 inches to put that into perspective It is skinnier than my iPhone that's Crazy when this set was first announced I heavily criticized it for lacking Functionality and being way too paneled Up however after building it my opinion

Of it has certainly changed for the Better I absolutely love all the Functions of the airplane I did not Expect the lever pulling function that Activates the propellers to be so Addictive and honestly I think it looks Much better in person than in the Official images it is not officially Licensed but it does resemble the q300 Or the q400 airplane a lot which is very Cool let's examine the value of the Firefighter airplane versus that of the Ford GT the Ford GT will cost you 120 Dollars containing 1466 pieces while the firefighter Airplane will cost you only a hundred Dollars containing 1134 pieces honestly If I had to pick only one I would easily Go with the airplane since it is much More fun to play with and in my opinion Has far greater magnets than the Ford GT Even if they were both priced at 120 I Would still go with the airplane instead Of the car despite the car clearly Having a better price to Parts ratio in That scenario will you be buying this Set on March 1st please let me know in The comments this is your unworking here And I'll see you in the next one
