Mini Helicopter - Ugears

Mini Helicopter - Ugears

The open design allows you to visualise every aspect of this do-it-yourself helicopter model. This 3D flying whirlwind is packed with realistic detail, including a spinning rotor mast and main rotor, spinning tail rotor, two-seat cockpit with cyclic stick controls, opening doors, adjustable front spotlight, retractable rear wheels, landing skids and a helipad on which you can rest your model.

To set your Ugears Mini Helicopter in motion, turn the On/Off switch to the 'Off' position, give the silent ratchet spanner a few turns to wind up the bungee motor, lower the rear wheels, place the model on a flat surface, then hold it gently while you flip the switch to 'On', release and watch your 3D puzzle helicopter shoot forward about 1.5 metres. Admire the superb realism of this spinning main rotor! When not in operation, you can place your helicopter on the helipad provided for an attractive static display.

With 167 parts, this is an easy-to-build model, but the exceptional Ugears design ensures that this do-it-yourself chopper always has that 'wow' factor. To build your model, simply detach the parts from the quality composite wood planks and fit them together following the illustrated instructions provided. Be sure to sand and lubricate all the moving parts using the sandpaper and wax supplied, and to "develop" the moving parts by carrying out several tests before final assembly, to ensure that the Mini Helicopter works at its best.

The Mini Helicopter is an ideal gift for a young person who dreams of taking to the skies, or for anyone who loves aviation or model making.
