Another Hover bike alternate for the BMW 42063

[Andy D]

 

I was looking around on YouTube the other day and I found these videos  by Milan "grohl666" Reindl.

They are of an alternate model for the BMW 42063, a very nice hover bike.. 

The first is a demonstration of the features…

 

The second is a how-to video. Has anyone built this or any other model that has a 27 minute Youtube video as instruction.  I’m just not sure how well that would work out of me.  I really want to build it, maybe I will try. 

 

 

 

 

I accidentally put the demonstration video in twice, can someone please fix it for me... Jim... Help!

I hate to reply to my own topic, but I think I want to build this. 

What are some tips for building from a video?

i am considering downloading the video and importing it into iMovie to have frame control.

Has anyone tried this? Or any other ideas.

TIA

Hi!

I just pause the video at each step and do it, then play it to the next, and so on. It hasn't failed me yet

Has anyone else tried to build this? I am in the process of building it now.  Instead of pause-play, I just have the video in constant pause mode and I am using the arrow keys to advance and back-uo the video.  

I have spent about  2 hours so far and I am at the 5:49 point in the video.  A this rate I have about 4 or 5 hours left. It is rather disconcerting following the video as Milan made a video of the disassembly, then reversed the video to  provide build instructions, it still works well, though sometimes his hand is in the way off something I would like to see, but I just keep scrolling around  until I see what I need to proceed.

Overall, this is more difficult than building from PDF instructions, but still fun and challenging (what I like in a Technic build). I want to thank him (if he reads this forum) for providing the instructions.

I did, and even made an LDD version with a small change: 2x2 dish headlight doesn't fit under the transparent panel, so I swapped it with 1x1 round tile. Here is the file: 42063 C-Model Flying Bike with two Impellers.lxf

@Void_S Was it easier to build the model, or make the LDD?

This remains one of my favorite models from 2017 along with the anniversary chassis.

@Andy D For me it was easier to build it physically, just because I have one screen and constant switching between YouTube and LDD is a pain.

How did the "flying" in and out of parts work for you? At sometimes it was a little disorienting for me.

@Andy D I just scrolled a bit forward and saw which assembly should be a result... However it was funny.
By the way, I'm about to finish PDF instruction that should be less disorienting. If Mr. Reindl don't mind.

@Void_S yeah, it was funny to see how Mr. Reindl kept "throwing" parts together, I just have not been able to assemble LEGO like that.

I would be very interested in seeing a PDF instruction for this model, let me (us) know when it is available. I'm sure more folks would like to build this, but I have read that some feel that assembling via the YouTube video would be too difficult for them.
