Take Off or Taxi to the Runway!
The Ugears Mad Hornet vintage racer airplane is inspired by the Granville Brothers' Gee Bee Model R-1 Super Sportster, as well as other vintage racing aircraft of the 1930's. This model is a testament to the Ugears design, being functional and full of interesting details. Its teardrop-shaped fuselage and aft-located cockpit give homage to real aircraft with these design elements, which give the pilot better visibility for tight turns.
The Mad Hornet Airplane even features 2 modes: the pre-flight check mode and taxi mode. Set the rotating drum in one of its two positions to choose one. Insert the special key into its stopper slot and pull up to 21 times on the winding string to give the aircraft the power it needs to spin its propellor, wiggle its tail rudder, and taxi itself across the airway – travelling up to 2.5 meters!
Model Size: 9,6*10,4*4,9 in (24.5*26.5*12.5 cm)
Assembly Time: 4-5 hours
Recommended Age: 14+
Assembling and discovering Ugears models is a smart and engaging hobby for grown-ups and kids of all ages. All Ugears models are made of sustainably sourced wood and require neither glue nor special tools to be fully assembled into functional working models. Also, there is no need for batteries or any external power source as they are powered by rubber bands, gears, cranks and gravity.
Each Ugears model is not just a construction kit but an incarnate IDEA of a PERFECT mechanism. Putting them together, you bring the idea to life.
This model is only one of many that we stock in our Ugears Model Kits range from Ugears Australia. This range is also part of our STEM Engineering & Construction collection, which has even more building kits for you to choose from.
