Pilots need to learn all about how helicopters work

And what makes up these incredible sky machines. We believe every pilot should be part engineer — that’s why we created the Thunder Chopper, a highly realistic DIY helicopter model. Complete with a takeoff platform, moving blades, a tail rotor, a highly detailed cockpit, and even mini missile launchers – all of this is packed into our charismatic Thunder Chopper. Get a feel for how a real helicopter works while building this wooden 3D model yourself!

What gives the Thunder Chopper its unique edge?

This 3D model comes with 485 pieces to assemble and special mechanisms that make it fun and interactive. The Thunder Chopper consists of two parts: the helicopter itself and a launch platform, along which the helicopter moves to simulate takeoff. An electric motor powers the blades and rotors, and a sliding mechanism opens the cabin doors. Plus, the helicopter is equipped with rocket launchers and even a feature to fire mini rockets.
All systems are go for takeoff. Let’s conquer the skies!
The Thunder Chopper by WoodTrick is a specialized 3D wooden constructor that offers both a fun assembly experience and intricate mechanisms inside. With 485 pieces, this DIY helicopter takes about 6-8 hours to build and has a moderate difficulty level (MASTERS, rated 3 out of 5). It’s a fun challenge for experienced builders, but beginners can also complete it with ease, thanks to the highly detailed, easy-to-follow instructions included in the kit.

In this model, we’ve ensured it looks realistic and delivers impressive performance. Our Chopper features spinning rotors and blades, and it can move across the landing pad to simulate takeoff. To activate it, simply flip the lever on top of the platform. Rocket launchers are mounted on the sides of the cockpit and are fired by pressing a special button. As part of our Electro series, this model runs on AA batteries (note: batteries are not included in the kit). The battery compartment is hidden within the platform beneath the helicopter.

 

Who will enjoy the Thunder Chopper the most? If you are excited about planes, helicopters and sky travels as well as clever mechanisms and real DIY challenges, this 3D model will impress you and provide plenty of fun. Another important point is that the Chopper is safe for both your health and the environment. Like all our models, it is made of sustainable plywood and can be fully assembled without the need for glue or other supplies.
