Still fun!
I loved the build here. I have it on a shelving unit with many other sets, but with enough clearance that I can turn it on while sitting on a conference on mute - it’s one of those sets you just can’t help but touch, but still looks awesome perched up high and turned off. Highly recommend. Oddly challenging build, as well - enjoyed it, took my time, felt much pride when I finished!!

Well Done w/ a Few Opportunities
This was by far the most complicated build I've done/seen. You REALLY need to pay attention to each step, and there were at least a few that were very difficult to decipher which lead to having to take it apart, figure out what was in the wrong place (had to research online) and correct. Please note this is just feedback as the build was incredible and very engaging!
As for some of the comments about the tail section being flimsy - I did not experience (or feel) that was an issue. The only thing I would improve is the landing gear motorized function. It does the job but I'd rather not hear "clicks" when the gear if fully extended or retracted, and I would think with a motor it would be able to lift the unit up (if you hold it it works fine, but if you try to have it lift while it's resting on a table it's too heavy).
All-in-all I love it. Keep them coming!

Caught a mistake - called Lego - got it confirmed.
My 6 year old son and I are in love with this set.
We came across a suspected misprint and called Lego. A very knowledgeable employee was on the phone with us right away and confirmed that we were correct.
On page 108 (picture # 180) we built a relatively simple module correctly. However, starting with the following picture (#181) on the same page (108) and until the end of the instructions book there is a persistent misprint of how it should look/come together.
There are 2 pieces involved in the confusion: #4142132 and #4142865. Unfortunately I am not able to upload photos.
I hope my less than ideal description of the problem doesn't confuse or put anyone off. You may not even notice it. It's a wonderful set.

a real technic model, shame on missing parts
this set combines a lot of advanced functions and is enjoyable build, it's a shame my set has missing pieces and the build is halted. it seems like a a long axel was included by error instead of several shorter axes. this is my 2nd large set in a row that has had missing pieces, (the lion knight castle had 2 missing pieces as well). Lego should take a pause on releasing too many big sets socially those over priced licensed sets and ficus on QC. Until then I am taking a pause on purchasing more. what a dissapotment.

Great build with some flaws
Must say this was the most complicated build yet, compared to all the other technic builds I have done. You really need to pay attention to each step. There are a couple steps that were hard to tell what needed to be done. The step where you assemble the working parts or the rotor, it shows the piece sitting horizontal to the helo but mine was angled. I spent hours trying to find the problem and ended up contacting lego. They gave me a youtube link to assist me. Come to find out, the piece is suppose to me angled, the drawing is incorrect. The tail section is a bit wobbly and the rear landing gear looks like it needs to get beefed up a bit. There are a few other little things no worth mentioning. As for the good side of this, very challenging and fun build, It looks good and the function is great. It is neat to watch all the gears in motion as the motor spins. Now I need to find a place to display it.

Finally Finished
A good build that needs patience. Along I think it was on around step 160-170 had incorrectly put a piece in one wrong spot. One of the smaller pieces. Tried to break it down without tearing it down but, to no avail didn’t work. So I had to com-lately tear it down and start from step 1. Got it finished and works good. And the best part is very few leftover pieces. The stickers weren’t too much of a problem this time too.

Absolute Blast!
I am a lego fan and builder since the early 90s and I never really bought into technic sets until I became and adult and had a child. With technic, not only do you get huge sets that have action and mechanical movements, but you have strong durability so that my daughter can play and beat up without damage. This particular set was amazing with its mechanical details, to include motorization controls of the landing gear, wench, and rotor speeds. I also enjoyed the colors. Well done!

Awesome set
This technic set is awesome because it uses a lot of gears and linkage to replicate the intricate movement of the cyclic and collective on the main rotor blades. The fact that you can actually use the cockpit controls makes it even better. The addition of the opening doors, gear retraction and winch movement are just icing on the cake. If you like functionality and seeing how things work, this is the kit for you.

Kind of a bummer
The set looks great and is fun to mess around with but it’s such a bummer that there’s no B model. I love taking these apart and rebuilding them and now we don’t get the option even though there’s twice as many pieces and it costs twice as much as the sets from a few years ago

WOW - all I can say
WOW is all I can say about this helicopter build. I have some of the older ones and they where fun, but this one takes it to a whole new level. As others have already mentioned, the technical details and functions that are included in this build are phenomenal! The build is definitely challenging; I had retrace building steps several times as I had the wrong pieces left over at the end of a bag set. Nothing that can't be solved.
The yellow pieces where a pleasant surprise, I don't think I have any pieces similar in a bright yellow like this. My only gripe with this set is the mold marks on the lego pieces. I have not encountered this on other sets, even as recent as the Ferrari. For the pieces in this set, there is always a good side and one side that has a mold mark. It was a bit painful to make sure the good sides where outward facing.
Overall I still give this 5 stars as it is a excellent set, a very rewarding build with a lot of technical functions I have not seen in any other set.

Very long but fun build
Took me about 10 hours to build it. But that's because I messed up half way through and had to take it apart to fix it. If you pay attention to the directions it's a very cool build. Lots of moving parts the rotor assembly is very repetitive but is definitely worth them money.

This build was fun and well worth it. The internals were challenging but amazing to see them be completed and function exactly how they were designed LEGO continues to go above and beyond and I can’t wait to see what aircraft the bring next. (Boeing CH-47) please

Awesome
I got this set and loved it from the beginning. The spinning propellers, retractable gear, and winch are great. The sliding doors add cool play features. The adjustable pitch of the propellers is extremely cool. I do wish the set had a stronger Moyer.

Do not buy
Do not buy this unless you want to spend more money on all the missing pieces you will need to finish. I cannot even finish this till the 72 missing pieces come in. Hopefully I wont need to order more parts for the last half of the build.

Wonderful toy
Wonderful toy, I bought for my 13 year old son. Took him couple of days to put it together. It’s quite big and had more features than any of his other legos (and he has many cool ones). This one is by far his favorite one.

Fantastic set
I loved everything about this build from the build of the gearbox and swashplate to the neon yellow pieces. The opening cowls on top were the icing on the cake of a incredible build
