All the pieces were there including 1 extra 4 cm gear dowel, and went together correctly and fairly easily. So the directions are pretty comprehensive. My only hiccup was the section on attaching the canopy.. If you want to be able to play with the amount of luff the canopy has more precisely between its horizontal supports and be more flush with them, for a generally better looking finished product. The best way it would seem to me, is to follow only half of the first step in the attaching the canopy section. Line the canopy up like it says, and instead of 2 put 1 dot of glue only on the inside of the top horizontal support. Then pin the canopy in place with one of the little clothes pins that came with it, where that other dot of glue would have gone on the outside edge of the top support. Then follow these same steps on every support, to the last support of the the first piece of canopy. Checking and adjusting the canopy as you work your way down each. Then go ahead and do step 3 of attaching the first piece of canopy, and then finally do the second step last. Allowing you to adjust the amount of luff and how flush the canopy is as you glue the outside edge to the downward spiral. Same idea for the the second piece and steps for the canopy. This method however will likely require trimming of the excess canopy cloth when finished like the note says. I'm letting any interested reader know all this because I missed the footnote that tells you the canopy may require trimming. Until after it was already glued, and the directions look as though they're telling you to line up and glue the edges of the canopy and the downward spiral as if the cloth was going to line up and fit just right the first time. No worries though, I made it look not so spottily luffed with some careful trimming on the inside egde, and creative adhesive work. No random foreign language problems, and the tube of glue could've used another ounce or two. Just coated mine with a 15 spf lemon oil which gave the whole thing a ton more character. Review: Beautiful and Educational At the Same Time, like all of Leonardo's Works - An excellent product, designed from a single drawing by Leonardo. Quality of materials is excellent. Assembly is thoroughly and entertainingly laid out. Being American, I'm unfamiliar with the metric system, which, of course, is used by this Canadian company. I was able to identify similar parts by comparing lengths, though. Instruction book also covers the historic and scientific aspects. The model is beautiful. I use it as a centerpiece on the dining room table! ## Features - Build Leonardo da Vinci’s Aerial Screw – Bring history and innovation to life by constructing a working model of da Vinci’s famous helicopter prototype, an early exploration of vertical flight.

It doesn’t spin extremely well and I may have got a little carried away with the glue on the cloth (it’s not super attractive to see the glue through the cloth). However, as an artifact for my classroom it’s a great piece for discussing Davinci and does actually work. It took roughly 4 hours for me to get together and the instructions are fairly easy tonubderstand. So yeah, worth it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Pathfinders STEM Kit – Leonardo da Vinci Helicopter Model | Wooden Building Kit for Kids Ages 8-13 | Educational Science & Engineering Toy | Aviation-Inspired STEM Project - Pathfinders STEM Kit – Leonardo da Vinci Catapult | Wooden Building Kit for Kids Ages 12-14 | Trebuchet Engineering & Physics Toy | Hands-On STEM Project - PATHFINDERS STEM Kit – Leonardo da Vinci Ornithopter | 3D Puzzle & Engineering Toy for Kids Ages 9+ | Educational Science & Learning Resource | Fun Gift Idea for Girls --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/2260623-stem-kit-leonardo-da-vinci-helicopter-model-kit-science-kits](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/2260623-stem-kit-leonardo-da-vinci-helicopter-model-kit-science-kits) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
