Aviator

The Aviator is a detailed model that can be assembled without glue, and is made of sustainable, eco-friendly wood. It assembles easily and without the need for glue or special tools, thanks to patented plywood joints, and instead of a simple static display, this model is capable of a unique and fascinating range of self-powered movements, all without batteries.

The Aviator features three modules: the airplane, the helicopter, and the flight control tower. Choose between your aircraft, set one on the tower’s bar, and you are good to fly. The easiest to operate, the chopper has a cockpit with doors that open and shut, and three-blade main and tail rotors. The airplane, on the other hand, has a higher velocity and requires a certain skill to operate. This module is based on the wire-braced biplane and has a 5 piston motor.

Your cockpit is the control tower— a sophisticated device with a high-performance motor that powers the rotation of the swash plate . The control tower is operated with two control bars: the control column regulates the roll and pitch of the flying machine; and the Motor controller to adjust RPM (revolutions per minute) sets the speed of the aircraft.

When all three units are assembled and you are ready to dive into the sky, it is time to wind up the motor. Make sure you don’t overextend the rubber bands in the motor – maximum winding must not exceed 25 half-turns. Hold on to the control column while releasing the Motor controller’s lock to launch your model.
