Description of UGEARS Wooden Mechanical Construction Learning Kit

HELICOPTER: We recommend starting with the helicopter, which is generally easier to control. You will appreciate the level of detail and precision of your chopper. It includes a three-bladed main rotor, tail rotor and a cockpit door that opens and closes. AIRPLANE: The airplane is modeled after a biplane, with two main wings stacked on one another. It contains a rotating propeller on the nose. Reminiscent of the aircraft that began the pioneer era of aviation, the plane has a five-piston motor. CONTROL YOUR FLIGHT: Once the assembly of all three units is complete, you’re ready to take flight. To launch your model aircraft, hold on to the flight control column while releasing the lock of the motor controller. Manipulate the controls to vary the revolution speed and the vertical and horizontal angles of rotation. CONSTRUCTION: Each Aviator model is made of environmentally friendly, high-quality plywood so you can feel confident about buying sustainable products that won’t harm the earth. Each of the over 700 pieces is intricately crafted and laser-cut for precise fit, careful attention to detail and smooth mechanical operation. GIFT IDEA: Best gift idea for Father's Day, Birthday, Christmas etc.

Interesting: Puzzles

At the time of writing this review I have not yet completed the assembly (maybe 3rd part of the way) They need time and a lot of table space. I'm currently not thrilled with the work order and in hindsight I would have assembled some parts differently by putting later parts first but that's my opinion and that's why I gave 3 stars for the build. I have to say that the support team is fast. My nephew helped me pull the parts out and he broke the small parts trying to pull them out (not…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Almost never

GREAT PRODUCT!: Puzzle

THIS IS THE FIFTH MODEL I HAVE PURCHASED FROM THIS COMPANY. ALTHOUGH I AM SATISFIED WITH ALL THE KITS, THE PARTS OF THIS MODEL ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONNECT. VERY TIGHT FITTING ITEMS. I'm glad I have the experience of four other models to help me with this. JUST DO NOT CONNECT THE PARTS FORCE. WARNING - TOLERANCES ON THIS KIT ARE TOO RIGID! IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN ASSEMBLING A PART, YOU CANNOT DISASSEMBLE IT WITHOUT BREAKING SOME PARTS. MANY OTHER PARTS NEED TO BE GROUNDED AND/OR WAXED TO…

Pros
  • Very Good Price
Cons
  • Problem

Nice to put together and impressive when finished BUT doesn't work properly

Those who enjoy putting challenging puzzles together will love this one. Not much time but enjoyed every moment. Unfortunately, with all those moving parts, I don't think it's doing what it's supposed to do. Every part works. While the takeoff doesn't work as fast as it should, the plane or helicopter will work too, but when you put it together, the sum of the parts probably creates too much stress for all the parts. At least that's what I saw with what I built. In any case, good luck. If you…

Pros
  • Fun
Cons
  • No instructions

A real puzzle: Puzzles

This was the second attempt to assemble a working model. Thank God I had the first attempt to take spare parts, because a spare part comes 3-4 weeks from the Ukraine. It brings a lot of joy and frustration and it's about 75% satisfaction. But if you don't create a perfect build, it won't work as advertised, mainly due to the complicated way it's built. The manufacturer should review and recheck the assembly photos to ensure the parts assemble as required. Some parts are very difficult to…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • There are some disadvantages

that it probably won't work as expected.

So this is a great project for learning how to build and understanding mechanisms and levers. however, it is poorly designed. The main shaft is too small and flexible, the engine is poorly designed. it is weak, and before you stretch it, it begins to deform. Even with real lube and not wax it wouldn't turn even with the motor cocked to the point of breaking. Thus, there is a tremendous design flaw in the bottom washer tension knobs and other knobs of the same design. The locking lever is square

Pros
  • hands free
Cons
  • hard to say

Too hard, no critical error protection

This is one of the hardest wooden puzzles I've ever put together. Unfortunately, there is a possibility of several irreversible critical defects that will ruin the model, and instructions that only contain pictures do not protect against them well enough. I found only page 66 had one part misaligned, hundreds of parts and it was impossible to fix. Most puzzles have multiple tests to prevent this, as well as pieces to prevent them from being put together in the wrong order. It's frustrating…

Pros
  • Works great for me
Cons
  • Doesn't work for everything
