UGears Rescue Hovercraft Mechanical Wooden Model Kit Tan 383 pc

UGears salutes rescue teams everywhere with the Rescue Hovercraft model. What fire or police department, or search and rescue team, wouldn't love to have this Rescue Hovercraft ready to go after a disaster. When a large storm strikes there can be a neighborhood by neighborhood, or even street by street mix of flood zones and dry land, making it impossible for ordinary rescue vehicles, whether boats or trucks, to reach survivors. That's where the hovercraft shines. Able to skim any surface land, water, mud, or ice on a cushion of air, hovercraft can bring emergency personnel where they're needed most, plucking people from floodwaters and rooftops or delivering supplies to otherwise inaccessible areas. The UGears Rescue Hovercraft is a 1:24 scale wooden model of a sleek, twin propeller all terrain hovercraft. This DIY wooden model is driven by a spring motor, with a windup ratchet key located on the craft's undercarriage. A Start/Stop switch allows you to wind the engine by giving ten clockwise turns, then engage the motor as the twin thrust propellers spin and the boat executes graceful, preprogrammed left and right turns over 3 meters, imitating the gentle swaying motion of real hovercraft. Outstanding realism, clever design, and attention to detail are the hallmarks of UGears models. The Rescue Hovercraft features a wide air cushion skirt, a movable, hand operated lift fan in the bow, laser engraved lift fans aft, two large engine driven thrust fans, helm and cockpit with seating for four, two mounted life preserver rings, headlamps built into the bow and searchlights mounted aft of the cockpit for nighttime rescues.
