GREAT SET
This set is a great buy! I got it as a birthday present and It's GREAT!
Winch is a cool feature on the helicopter and boat, but the spinning propeller probably beats all. Pros and Cons:
Pros:
Winch
Fun Build
Neat Windshield
No Stickers YAY!
Cons:
None!
Great Buy! Keep up the good work, Lego!2 out of 3 people thought this review was helpful.
Add some tech-action to your City, Agents, Star Wars buildings etc.!
As long as there are no batteries included, one would not expect such a decent power-function!
And it comes at low cost, little weight & little room! Ideal for building in minifig-scale!
It really works well and brings some action into your models, which is not achievable anyway else - therefore: MUST HAVE!
Besides some parts in orange and dark-blue, which are rare, there are a lot of wedges etc. - parts which are useful for anything that flies (in your imagination ;-).
Boys: Get it!

Cool Copter!
It is always nice to get another lego helicopter, and it is always nice to see that LEGO has not given up on these amazing vehicles. Anyways, this set features interesting details such as spinning blades, clear window pieces, and spinning wheels. Also, this set is very unigue in two ways: it is a cargo helicopter(most choppers are either police, fire department, or hospital) and it's designed with an automatic winch, but you need to lower it manuely, and then it goes up automaticaly(I was expecting a little bit more electric power, but I can't complain with such creativity). However, there is only one concern that I have for this set: tieing the rope is time-consuming as is most lego building anyway. So, with that said, this set is a great twist on a classic model, and I highly recommend it.

Cargo Copter
This set is pretty good. It goes great with my City in the Cargo Center. I got this set in Toys-R-Us where my dad bought it for me. It as good turbines, and great detail. Now on to the Pros and Cons
Pros
Power Functions works
3 Transport mechanisms you can build.
Cool spinning propeller on the other plane build.
Cons
Can't fit a figure in the copter.
When switching from a copter to the boat, you have to keep cutting the string, so I'm always afraid I'll run out.

A Suprisingly Good Set
LEGO 4995: Cargo Copter is a suprisingly good set. There are some pretty cool features on this set as well.
~Glass Pieces (of course, they aren't real glass)
~Motorized cargo lift
~3 different models to build
The cargo copter uses a motorized piece to lift the cargo crates. The Airplane Model uses power functions, and the speedboat uses the power functions as a motor for the anchor.
PROS:
Helicopter: -fun, easy build -cool rotors -includes rare pieces
Airplane: -uses motor on propeller -nice design -sturdy
Speedboat: -uses motor on anchor (hook) -looks interesting
CONS:
Helicopter: -Rotors break easily
Airplane: -looks strange when seen from side -Prop dosen't spin very fast
Speedboat: -breaks easily -fins aren't sturdy
If you like Aircraft, like my father & I, Then buy this set. I don't kno about you guys, but I'm buying propeller power ASAP!
