LEGO Technic 9396 Helicopter

LEGO Technic 9396, “Helicopter”, represents a helicopter built with Technic elements.

Set 9396 is part of LEGO Technic and presents an aircraft subject within a theme known for structural and mechanical building. As a helicopter, it adds an aviation model to a Technic collection and contrasts with the ground vehicles, machines and transport subjects often found in the same theme.

This model is suited to Technic collectors, display of a mechanical aircraft, and comparison with other Technic vehicles.
