Bring the magic of vintage aviation to life with the Ugears Mad Hornet Airplane!

Inspired by the iconic Gee Bee Model R-1 Super Sportster, this DIY wooden model is perfect for anyone who loves the charm of classic planes.

With it's fat, teardrop-shaped fuselage and well-placed cockpit, the Mad Hornet offers an engaging assembly experience and a fascinating end result!

This model features two exciting modes: pre-flight check mode and taxi mode.

Simply insert the special key into the stopper slot, give up to 21 pulls on the winding string, and watch your Mad Hornet come to life!

In pre-flight check mode, the propeller spins, the wing flaps, and the tail rudder wiggles before the plane automatically switches to taxi mode!

Watch as it travels up to 2.5 metres across your flat surface. It's a satisfying challenge of assembling a medium difficulty model with its 354 parts.

Powered by a wind-up helical spring motor, the Mad Hornet's intricate gear sets transmit power to its movable parts, creating a truly captivating display!

No glue or special tools are needed - just punch out the pre-cut pieces, snap them together, and watch your creation take shape.

  • Two exciting modes: pre-flight check and taxi
  • Travels up to 2.5 metres in taxi mode
  • No glue or special tools required, just snap together (some light sanding may be required)

Recommended for ages 14 and up your model takes around 8 hours to complete. Assembled dimensions: 26.5cm x 24.5cm x 12.5cm

Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, a model airplane hobbyist, or someone who appreciates clever design, the Ugears Mad Hornet Airplane is a fantastic addition to any collection. Don't miss out on the fun - get your Mad Hornet today!

I encountered a few problems, mainly with the central mechanism which wouldn't turn, but otherwise it's very well designed. This is my seventh Ugears model kit and I'm still just as satisfied.

The plane was very impressive, even such an experienced assembler with about 100 assembled models. In some places it was difficult and it was not even clear what I was doing now :), a huge number of gears that should interact smoothly with each other. Everything worked out for me, I'm happy. Review can be viewed on the channel Icredible Gears

Very nice model, it was a lot of fun to build, but the mechanism isn't working. The photos of the coil spring are unclear. Could someone send me a slightly larger picture of the coil installed? (Page 5, top right) Thanks
