Product details
Build the Helicopter. Solder Every Wire. Bring It to Life.
A real point-to-point circuit sculpture you build by hand — then power it up and watch it move.
Bend the copper. Make the connections. Build the structure. When you're finished, you've created more than a model: a working kinetic desk lamp built by your own hands.
Not just a model. Not just a lamp.
Every copper wire becomes part of the structure and the electrical pathway. There is no hidden PCB doing the work for you.
Why This Isn't Just Another Model Kit
Designed for people who want to understand, build and interact with what they create.
Wondering if you can actually build it?

Make a Mistake? That's Part of Building.
This isn't a disposable craft project. You can unsolder, adjust, rebuild and keep going.
Will the Copper Stay Shiny?
Raw copper naturally develops a darker patina over time. That's part of the character of real copper — but you don't have to keep it that way.
If you prefer a brighter finish, polish the copper after assembly or apply a suitable clear protective coating.
Build It. Display It. Bring It to Life.
Spend 3–5 hours building something you can actually keep on your desk, power up, watch move, and say: “I built that.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this suitable for beginners?
If you've never used a soldering iron before, expect a genuine hands-on challenge. Basic electronics or DIY experience will make the process easier. Step-by-step visual guides are included, and spare wire is provided for practice.
How long does the build take?
Expect around 3–5 hours depending on your experience and pace.
Does the copper wire get too hot while soldering?
Copper transfers heat quickly. Use tweezers or small pliers to hold pieces securely while soldering. Always work in a well-ventilated area and follow proper soldering safety practices.
Will the copper tarnish or change color?
Yes. Raw copper naturally develops patina over time. If you prefer a brighter finish, polish the copper after assembly or use a suitable clear protective coating.
How does it power up and spin?
It is USB powered and can be connected to a laptop, power bank or standard adapter. The micro-gearbox drives the main rotor and tail blade, with warm LED illumination.
What if I cut a wire incorrectly?
Extra tolerance wire and spare components are included. You can unsolder, adjust the connection and continue building.
What tools do I need?
The Basic Kit is intended for makers who already have their own soldering setup. The Creator Kit adds the 90W digital soldering iron and electric desoldering pump, while the Pro Creator Kit adds the wire straightener and heat-resistant silicone mat.
