grohl Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 Glider My very first attempt to build something that can fly. I think the indoor performance looked a bit more promising, but in the end, it does not fly bad at all. Quote
sama Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Wow, its amazing and it flies better than most paper planes, except mines of course . Quote
Jurgen Krooshoop Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Very cool. And congratulations, you've finally made Lego really fly Quote
timslegos Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 And people say that legos cant fly. It looks absolutely beautiful flying. Nice job :wub: :wub: . tim Quote

Jetro Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 A great alternative, and thank you again for your review and alternative model for HispaBrick Magazine! Quote
Thelonious monk Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Awesome job! Thank you fot posting instructions! Quote
grohl Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 Sorry for the delay. Here are the instructions for the mobile crane I built using parts of 8052. Before anybody else starts with this. No, you cannot fully retract the LA because it is blocked by the battery box. http://oron.com/wdtvv3ebpnff http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=495123 Quote
DLuders Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) I want to buy another 8052 set, to make this Mobile Crane alternate -- your "4th alternate model of 8052. The mobile crane features steering, stabilizers, rotating superstructure, raising 3 section boom with winch and opening doors." Edited May 9, 2012 by DLuders Quote
DLuders Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) I converted Grohl's 189-step photo-sequence Building Instructions (for his 8052 Mobile Crane alternate) into a single, 26.2-MB PDF file that can be downloaded here via SkyDrive. All the pages are numbered for ease of printing. Grohl's photographs are very clear; he sure thinks of a lot of GREAT alternates for Lego Technic sets! Edited May 9, 2012 by DLuders Quote
grohl Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 Thank you again, David. I am working on a 8081 alternate and it is going to be some sort of a dropship. Quote
Jim Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Time has come for my long time announced 9394 alternate. RESCUE HELICOPTER Length 50cm Rotor diameter 44cm Features Both spinning rotors Tilting main rotor Retractable landing gear Instructions A bit late, but I really love your chopper! Very well done! Could be a set of it's own. Quote
grohl Posted May 19, 2012 Author Posted May 19, 2012 I was finally able to finish the video of SPOT-55. Quote
DLuders Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) @ grohl: Nice to see your SPOT-55 in action! By the way, I like the soundtrack on your YouTube video above -- Jimi Hendrix's [Let Me Stand Next To Your] "Fire"! Edited May 19, 2012 by DLuders Quote
timslegos Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Another awesome model Grohl! Love the white and red color. tim Quote
grohl Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Dropship an 8081 alternate with fold-up wings, opening cockpit, cargo bay doors, retractable landing gear and moving heavy cannons. Original model Dropship Quote
DLuders Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Nice alternate model! It looks "wicked" with the multiple weapons on it! Were you inspired by the "Halo" game? Edited July 7, 2012 by DLuders Quote
grohl Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 In this case I started with the folding mechanism of the wings and built the rest of the ship around it using my fantasy. The problem is that all the dropships look pretty much the same. Quote
captainmib Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 I build your 9394 c-model, the helicopter, today. It is a really good alternate and fun to build. Looks great as well. The only downside i came across is that the instructions miss some small steps. For me no problem, but i was building with my brother, (no experience in building technic lego) so i had to help a few times. Anyway, please keep doing these nice alternates. You're quite good at it!

grohl Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 Instructions for the DROPSHIP in 224 steps available after clicking the picture. Quote
legolijntje Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Thank you for the instructions The model reminds me of the Lego Technic helicopter from this year. BTW; I made a simple pdf of the instructions, you can download it here from my dropbox Quote
grohl Posted October 24, 2012 Author Posted October 24, 2012 Thank you for your effort and time. Quote
