How Easy is it to Build a Lego Aeroplane

By Sam Brown

Watching my ten year old son sit for hours recreating scenes and objects from his imagination using lego brings back memories of my own childhood (over twenty years ago now ). I remember how much fun I used to have creating things with lego. My favourites were building houses and villages and then re-enacting stories and movies I had seen.

I watched him search through all of his lego for the bits he needed to build an aeroplane; the sets he had from his dad and I, and the sets that were actually his and I suddenly realised he didnt have any lego aeroplanes at all.

I looked on the internet and was amazed to how many lego aeroplanes there actually are! For the younger kids there are a few Duplo planes ("My First Plane" for example) and for each of the various lego branches there are also plane sets - for Lego Indiana Jones the set Temple Escape has a small aeroplane to build, Lego City has numerous planes, cargo planes, passenger planes, propeller planes etc and of course the Lego Space sets and Lego Star Wars sets have their own space planes/space ships to build.

With even more research online I discovered various instructions on how to build the lego planes, using bricks we already had and what was really interesting was to find how many people have actually recorded themselves building aeroplanes and uploaded the videos to the internet (youtube etc). The videos were great entertainment and also helped my son with even more ideas for building lego aeroplanes.

To answer the question, how easy is it to build a lego aeroplane? Its as easy as you want it to be, whether you build from your own imagination, from instructions you find online or even from watching a video on the internet, the answer is, as easy as you want it to be! - 30320
