🔷 Building this clock was a huge challenge for me. At first, I could only get it to run for about three hours. But after disassembling it several times, applying wax, and sanding some parts—especially the hour-hand mechanism—I finally got it to work! As the photo shows, it ran for an incredible 6 hours and 25 minutes with the engine turned off!
After tweaking a lot with the pendulum, I was also able to achieve a difference of only 4 seconds compared with a stopwatch over that entire period!! This is a fantastic piece of engineering, and there were times I truly felt like a clockmaker 😜. It gave me many hours of fun during and specially after its assembly.
Thank you again, Ugears! You're geniuses! 🙏
Good job UGEARS!! 🙏 This vehicle's assembly was a brilliant and surprising, specially the back chain. It's the most complex model I've ever built, with the highest number of pieces. After finishing, I had to remove the front wheels to polish the wood and apply wax so they'd roll smoothly. Attaching the spring was one of the most challenging tasks I've faced in my 10 wooden puzzles. I finally got the tricar to travel an incredible 5.30 meters 😎!!!. Can anyone beat that?😉G
Superbe montage , aucun problème, une fois terminé, impossible de faire avancer la voiture , trop d’engrenages je suppose.
Mais quoi qu’il en soit superbe modèle.
This is a second Aero Clock that we have put together.
It worked as soon as we put the weight on it. We are monitoring the clock to get the time adjustment just right. It was assembled over a leisurely 6-day period with an about an hour or two per day. It is working perfectly with the balloon dropping each hour. The instructions are very clear, but you need to proceed carefully so everything goes together as instructed. We are very happy with the clock with the gentle tic-tock.
Now, this one is my favorite of them all!!! Not only has great looks but works great too!!! I did order another one to build and race them against each other!
This is a fun puzzle. Not too difficult if you follow the instructions. More importantly, make sure you sand and wax all round parts and the holes they go into; along with all gears. Sometimes sand between teeth to make sure there are no wooden remnants. It moves down the hallway fast. I can't get it to walk slowly. You will need to run the gears while holding the hexapod to mesh the gears to run smoothly several times.
This is a great little puzzle! I enjoyed putting it together, and it looks so good. It works very well as a nightlight, and very nice just sitting on a desk. Not for those wanting something quick and easy though - lining up 20 tabs requires patience!
I don’t know what inspired me to buy this—I haven’t thrown a paper airplane in 20 years—but here’s my assessment. It’s a unique looking device and propels the glider quite nicely. If you’re stuck inside for a bit, as I have been, completing this one will feel like a challenge well done.
A fun, fascinating, and useful puzzle! It's a challenge, though not a difficult build. (Follow the instructions carefully!) It's fun to show, and a secure storage. An excellent buy!
It's a fine puzzle. All the parts fit together and I only had to use a tool a few times to remove parts from boards. Plenty of extra parts. I had a good time putting this together and watching run down the hall going to the left and right. Propellers move also.
As usual an amazing little device from UGEARS. This was a challenging build—that’s a lot of fun for the $8 this is currently on sale for. I didn’t think my motor was working at first, so I put a headlamp on and inspected the build while reviewing the manual. I jiggered with the gearing a little bit with the tips of my fingers until I started getting movement, then more movement. In a little while all the parts were mating really well and it was working flawlessly. UGEARS is a unique company. Buying from them is like joining a club of friends. These products take care to assemble correctly and a little breaking in to work properly. Enjoy the process! These are unique items!
Es hat, wie immer mit den UGEAR Modellen, viel Spaß gemacht das Modell zusammen zu setzen und alles funktioniert einwandfrei. Ich habe die Zylinderkopfdeckel allerdings wieder abmontiert, damit man die Bewegungen der Zylinder sehen kann. Vielen Dank auch nochmal an das Team für den Support zu den Fragen und Ersatzteilen zu den anderen Modellen.
This thing is so cool. I put it together in less than two hours. My Mom is very nosey, and always finds out when I’m up to no good. Well, those days are over now. I hide all my contraband in my trusty little lock, and she has no idea what I’m up to now. Thank you, UGEARS!
I set sail from Barbados with only this device and a paper map to guide me. Unfortunately, the level of precision was not satisfactory to prevent my becoming lost and eventually shipwrecked, stranded on an island, deserted of inhabitants, for 15 years. Regardless, I’m glad I bought it. It’s an incredibly cool little device and an absolute joy to assemble and play with, just not quite precise enough to risk your life on, which I sadly discovered the hard way. 5 stars!
Very easy to assemble. The parts are better cut, and the tolerances are better than other Ugears models. A+++
