Is a Lego Aeroplane Easy to Build

By Sam Brown

I grew up playing with Lego - I am sure its the same for most people in their thirties - it was my favourite way to pass the time. My favourite things to build were houses and I would spend hours creating little villages and scenes to re-enact. My ten year old son, I am happy to say is exactly the same, he spends hours creating lego scenes and objects from his imagination.

It was, however, when I watched him build an aeroplane that I realised of all the lego he has inherited from myself and his father, together with all his own lego, that he actually didn't have any of the lego aeroplanes.

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! - 31409
