UGEARS The Ghost of Kyiv Ukrainian Fighter Wooden 3D Puzzle (14+ Years) 181 Piece

A proudly Ukrainian company brings the ghost of Kyiv to life in this 1:72 scale model of the mig-29 fighter jet flown by the ghost. The model is distinguished by its realism, with movable ailerons, wing flaps, and tail rudders, retractable landing gear front and back, detachable missiles, and a pop-up canopy. But the standout feature of this DIY 3D wooden aircraft model is the way it hovers in the air like a phantasm, thanks to our use of tensegrity (tensional integrity or floating compression), an elegant structural engineering principle used in some bridges and stadium roofs.

Four thin fishing lines, with ratchet-aided tension adjustment, allow the DIY model aircraft to float above its stand, as if by magic, even though the lines are below the model! A slider at the rear of the model allows you to roll the aircraft left and right, simulating flight. You can also change the mig-29's pitch angle using adjusters located underneath the stand.
