Put your skills to the test with this build-it-yourself working recreation of Leonardo Da Vinci's fifteenth century Ornithopter, inspired by the many drawings of flying machines that he sketched!

Your fully-functional model is easy to make in about an hour for beginner model makers. Using the gears that Da Vinci drew to make the machine move, the model includes a pilot with moving arms and legs!

Made from natural wood for durability, all of the pieces are pre-cut and drilled ready for assembly. Simply follow the instructions to test out this ingenious design by using the crank to flap its wings!

Measuring an impressive 59cm long, the Da Vinci Ornithopter is the perfect educational gift for hobbyists, model builders and school children. It's great for visual perception and hand-eye coordination!

Your assembled flying machine can sit on its stand as a working model, or it can hang from the ceiling!

Recommended for ages 12 and up.
Contains 45 pieces made up natural wood and plywood.
Dimensions once assembled: 30cm x 59cm x 38cm

I purchased astronaut food and a prank golf ball for my 15 year old son, as stocking fillers for Christmas. Amazing. They arrived quick. Well packaged. And I know my son will love them. I hope I get to try some of the astronaut food. I have never seen that before. If not... I will be placing an order after Christmas for more. ...

Purchased two novelty miniature musical instrument desktop toys to take to work to amuse the office. Products are excellent and well packed for safe postage. CoolThings communicated the order and shipping details promptly, and items were sent and received quickly. Happy to recommend CoolThings and now that I know of them will likely purchase again....

My goods were exactly what I expected, I was told exactly where my parcel was and how long it would take to get to me. Everything was just so cool, as the name suggests. Love your stuff, it's so different....
