Things You'll Need:
- Lego System Bricks four or more assorted triangular, square and narrow rectangle sizes
- Two curved pipe pieces, with places for attachment on top
- Curved see-through plastic Lego, attachable at top and bottom
- Lego pilot, optional
- Two blocks with round tube protruding, one from top, the other from the side
- X- and Y-shaped pieces for propellers
-
Step 1
Start your base with two rudders made from 1-inch by 8-inch Legos. Attach one of the pieces that looks like a pipe on the third circle of each narrow Lego. The pipe attaches the two. Attach the other pipe in the third circle from the other end of the blocks.
-
Step 2
Stick smooth top 1-inch by 2-inch pieces between the two pipes. Place a 4-inch square Lego centered on the pipe pieces.
-
Step 3
Attach a 1-inch by 4-inch block to the back of the square; two of the triangular pieces should go on either side to touch the back piece. A 1-inch by 2-inch piece goes next to the back piece. Four circles of the original square should still be seen. This is the cockpit.

Step 4
Build up the helicopter by laying a 2-inch by 4-inch Lego on the highest part of your helicopter. Attach a long 2-inch by 10-inch piece to the center of this so that the rest of the block points to the back. Lay two 1-inch by 2-inch pieces on either side. Add another 2-inch by 4-inch piece across the front of this in order to hold the long Lego in place.
-
Step 5
Create your helicopter windshield with a curved plastic piece, attaching the bottom to a 1-inch by 4-inch Lego. Use a special Lego that attaches to the top of the clear plastic. You then join this top Lego to the top part of the helicopter base you've already built.
-
Step 6
Get ready to build your propellers. For the top one, it helps to have a square block with a protruding piece to stick the X-shaped piece onto. Build onto the X with 2 long narrow pieces opposite each other and shorter narrow pieces on the other sides. You can make a back propeller if you have a small piece with a protruding tube to the side. Attach it to the end of the helicopter, and slide the Y-shaped piece onto it. You're ready for lift off!
