Ugears Mad Hornet Airplane
Every day is a great day to fly your Ugears Mad Hornet vintage racer. Inspired by the Granville Brothers; Gee Bee Model R-1 Super Sportster and other vintage racing aircraft of the 1930s, the Mad Hornet Airplane has a thick, teardrop-shaped fuselage and a spacious aft cockpit to give the pilot a better view of the tight turn. pylons around the racecourse.
The Ugears Mad Hornet Airplane is a Medium difficult DIY wooden model with 354 parts and promises 8 hours of enjoyable assembly time. The aircraft model is powered by a wind-up coil spring motor, which is often used in watch mechanisms and other precision instruments.
Different gear sets transfer force from the spring to the moving parts of the aircraft. The Mad Hornet has two modes: pre-flight check mode and taxi mode. Select the mode by setting the rotating drum to one of the two positions. Insert the special key into the stopper slot and pull the winding cord up to 21 times. Then place the plane on a flat surface, remove the key and watch your Mad Hornet come to life.
In the check mode the propeller spins while the wing flaps and tail rudder wobble, before the plane automatically switches to taxi across the airfield to the runway.
In the taxi mode immediately starts taxiing your plane, up to 2.5 meters high!
The Mad Hornet is the most beautiful and complex aircraft model to date. Ugears is also known for their throwback, steampunk sensibility, so this short and chunky 1930s plane looked perfect for a signature Ugears flier. The Mad Hornet is an attractive decorative item for your home or office. With all the tech it's really meant for imaginative play and especially to show off the pre-flight sequence. The Mad Hornet's spinning propeller and moving tail rudder and wing flaps that work in tandem are cool, but the sequential action to have the model plane taxi after the ground checks are completed is unique in this collection.
