About this product...
The EiTech C71 Solar‑Powered Metal Helicopter is a hands‑on engineering kit designed to introduce young builders to real metal construction techniques and the fascinating principles of solar energy. With 188 precision‑cut metal components, high‑quality screws and tools included, this set allows children to assemble a sleek, modern helicopter model powered by a compact solar motor.
The build process encourages STEM learning, fine‑motor development, and early mechanical understanding as children follow clear illustrated instructions to create a sturdy, functional model. Once assembled, the solar module powers the helicopter’s moving parts when placed in direct sunlight, offering an engaging demonstration of renewable energy in action.
EiTech kits are renowned for their robust German engineering, and the C71 is no exception — combining durability, educational value and a rewarding construction experience. Ideal for budding engineers aged 8 years and up, it’s a standout project for home learning, school STEM clubs or hobby builders.
