Kaanere Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) An V-22? That one is a military-only aircraft. Even if the designers remove all references to military service, it's still a first for TLG to release a set of a current military vehicle. Also, this is a possible paint scheme in black and orange (minus the Marines inscriptions, of course): Spoiler Also, could it be an AW609? It's a civillian aircraft similar to the V-22, and was partly developed by Bell (Although Bell is no longer involved). It's reasonable to mistake the two, although I don't think that they would market it as a Bell. Spoiler Finally, a Bell license opens the door for other Textron Aviation licenses, such as Cessna, Hawker and Beechcraft. Edited January 28, 2020 by Kaanere Quote

This Bell-licensed tiltrotor will probably resemble the V-22 about as closely as those two sets resembled the F-35. 6 minutes ago, Kaanere said: A Bell license opens the door for other Textron Aviation licenses, such as Cessna, Hawker and Beechcraft. A licensed Cessna product would be a dream come true. Quote
Jockos Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Actually, that kind of vehicle was made back in 2004 in 8434... Quote

jrx Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Similar but without military marks/symbols They really clearly reassembled the Osprey Edited January 28, 2020 by jrx Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 @jrx How long are the new blades? Quote
jrx Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I have forgotten to measure I think they are half lenght of the blades used in the Technic helicopters Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 What are these new panels you mention that fit to the 3x13 curved panels? And I assume they come in DBG? Quote

Akbalder Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 How big is it? Is it realy a control+ set or is it used as the old motors? Quote

kbalage Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 @jrx did you manage to check the hub used? The Technic hub seems to be a total overkill for 1 motor, is it the AAA hub or a "dumb" PU battery box maybe? Quote

It’s long but diameter is smaller than former transport plane - if I remember it right It is C+ or PoweredUp - but I think only one motor 31 minutes ago, JaBaCaDaBra said: it's control+ PF is history. <quote> Control+ battery box and 1 motor </quote> The mentioned functions need 4 motors.

It was nit possible ti check as the plane was glued to the ground and had glued bricks Quote
Leewan Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 With four gearbox-controlled functions, it looks like this will be the most interesting set of the wave (or even of the year) from a mechanical standpoint. Quote
Flecktyphus Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 This set sounds very interesting, I'd love an approximation of its dimensions.. Quote

I did a very ugly sketch. Hope you can guess what I meant – I think I'm better with building than with drawing :D (btw: why do I can't upload a small picture like this to EB???) 37 minutes ago, Flecktyphus said: This set sounds very interesting, I'd love an approximation of its dimensions.. Hard to guess. There wasn't enough time to count the exact dimensions. Very rough guess: 40 to 50 cm long, around 50 cm wide and 10 to 15 cm height. Quote

That doesn't sound logic, the idea of control+ is remote control by smartphone or will it be something like 8043 with gearbox control by motor? Quote
