It was a pretty straightforward build, nothing too unusual in the construction. I do like many of the parts included, especially the engine scoop (I could see that going onto the hood of an MOC hot rod quite easily). The fact that the wings were swept forward rather than backward seemed unusual at first, but now that it's assembled it looks right. The canopy doesn't look quite as oversized in real life as it does in the pictures. Compared to many modern stuntplanes, it's big but not overly so. Nothing is printed on the plane, everything uses stickers. All in all there aren't that many, 1 set of chevrons on the cart's bumper, on the plane a sticker is on either side of the tail, one behind the cockpit, one just behind the engine and one on either side of the engine. Replacing the plates on the vehicle, the driver doesn't look like he's too low but it still looks kind of weird, like he's sitting on the floor. In my opinon, they should have included a chair (which all of the other airport ground vehicles/forklifts/other small vehicles I've built have).

This is my first review, so feel free to offer advice and/or (constructive) criticism. Growing up, I had a "brick bucket" but few actual Lego sets. One of the only sets i remember having was the "Eagle Stunt Flyer", which at some point was "borrowed" by my younger brother, and half the pieces were never to be seen again... This set feels like something of a spiritual successor to that set, with the addition of the ground support vehicle thrown in: Back view of packaging: Bags and manuals: bag 1 is the ground cart and mechanic figure, bag 2 is the plane itself. Bag 1 assembled: With driver and toolchest together. I find it somewhat odd that it has the driver driving in a standing position; I think it would have been better to include a seat or something: I didn't like the single offset beacon, so I added a second orange cone from my spare parts bin for symmetry: The plane itself. I must say, this really captures the look of a modern stunt plane, with the large engine "scoop", the bubble canopy, and the use of bright colors and eye-catching patterns. The pilot minifig is excellent as well, with his mirrored sunglasses and pilot's uniform. With the pilot at the controls: Overall, I'd give the set a 9/10: it may be a bit bare-bones, but overall it does what it has to do, and at only $20, it's quite a bargain by Lego price standards. Other than a few niggles with the cart, I can see the set providing hours of fun, as the plane is an inherently whooshable design and so far it holds together well through sharp maneuvers (I had to test fly it after all ). I know some people don't like stickers, but here the stickers aren't excessive and they're easy to place.

All of the above, plus Red Dwarf, the Black Adder, the Office, Mr Bean and Not the Nine O'Clock News.

Hi everybody! I'm currently living in Newtown, CT but I'm originally from New Jersey (hence the name). I had a few Lego kits here and there growing up (along with a brick bucket), but in general I only started seriously buying Legos recently. My other interests are (scale) model trains, cats, reading, travel, learning foreign languages, and watching TV (especially Britcoms).
