Description
"I think, if this screw instrument is well made, that means from linen starched (to block its pores) and is turned rapidly, then this said screw will find its female in the air and climb upwards."
With this brief description, Leonardo da Vinci had envisioned the forefather of the modern helicopter.
An excellent recreation of Leonardo's vision is now here in this easily built die cut wooden model kit.

Additional Information
Imitation means creation in the late Renaissance world of famed inventor, artiste and engineer, Leonardo da Vinci. While Columbus sailed the ocean blue, young da Vinci, convinced he'd culled all Florence could offer, set out for the thriving city-state of Milan to bring his pragmatic melding of form and function to the service of Ludovico il Moro. His early drive mechanisms were meticulously sketched to marshal Renaissance man's command of nature. His notebook, only partly saved from the ravages of time, offers up the footings for such feats as building damns, tanks, submarines and mastering even the impossible, flight.
In a clockwork universe that gave rise to mankind's quest to harness nature and things, da Vinci stands alone as the foremost imitator and re-creator of nature. In the spirit of da Vinci, we bring fine model kits that represent innovation, insight or inspiration which changes history.
