Here is my Lego Skycrane Sikorsky CH-54

Figures

· Name of the model: Sikorsky CH-54

· Number of parts: 898 without parts for the PFS

· Year: 2015

· Dimensions(Size): 66cm x 16cm x 21cm and 50 cms between every extremity of blade

· Designer: juGSI16V

Specifications:

- Box of speed allowing to run either helixes, or winch or 2 at the same time.

- Thumb wheel to activate the functions, easily accessible for a good playability

- Possibility of putting easily an engine M and the case in piles.

- Suspension on 3 "legs" of the copter.

- Color bi-tones

- Assure the preservation in height of the container once sunrise.

Design :

Close to the model original, the cabin in summer correctly careened, 3 amounts of windscreen give an attractive "nose" to this helicopter. The inside of the cabin is provided with 2 sleeves for the piloting and with all the instrumentalization necessary for the flight.

Under the rotor, 2 enormous entrances of turbine give an impression of power.

The yellow panels side hide correctly the box from speed.

Finally, the tail of the copter is rather long, covered in the third party, leave panels fairing 3x11.

Fonctions :

- Rotation of the rotor and the helix on the back

- Descent and rise of the winch

- Suspensions

In green: the training by thumb wheel or by engine M

In Blue: rotation of the rotor and the helix

In yellow: functioning of the winch with VSF

New vidéo:

I recently have seen this chopper on discovery channel and it amazed me. Seeing it in a Lego version is very nice.

This is a very nice model. The placement of the PF components is great - that battery box looks like it was made for this helicopter. Are you planning to make a video?

Thanks for your post

2 videos are already in the first post, but I put back them here:

Nice. Personally I think Technic helicopters should be a bit bigger, but I like it all the same. Shame it can't fly.

PS: Does the container open?

Nice amount of functions for such a small MOC, looks cool as well.

Great machine!

Nice shapes + a lot of functions for such a small package.

I wouldn't load the container with heavy stuff though

It's a Moc for Techlug contest, i have a limit of 900 parts

Does the container open?

Unfortunately, no

Nice work on the helicopter.

Thanks for your answer

I redid my container, so that it takes less place:

Thanks a lot

So you can download the lxf files

This looks very cool...!!!

nice work

Very nice work. I keep looking my Artic Helicrane, and saying I should rebuild it more accurately as an actual SkyCrane; but other projects get in the way.

Very nice work. This is the first time I see duplo bricks used in Technic

Thanks.

Promised! It's my daughter's duplo.
