My son and I spent a Saturday afternoon on this at the kitchen table and he did most of it himself. The part that got him was building the remote too, he could not believe the controller was made of wood as well. When it lifted off the grass the next morning he lost his mind.

How it Works

Little Pilot's DIY Wooden Drone Kit is a build it yourself quadcopter that arrives as two laser cut wooden sheets, a set of motors and boards, and a picture by picture instruction guide. Your child pops the numbered parts out of the sheets and presses them together, clips in the motors and wiring, and then builds the wooden remote control the same way, so there are two full builds in one box. Most families finish in one afternoon at the kitchen table with no screwdriver and no complicated tools. Charge the battery over USB, take it outside, and the thing they built with their own hands lifts off the ground.

    FAQs

    How long does it take to build?

    Most families finish both the drone and the remote in one afternoon, roughly two to three hours. The illustrated guide works picture by picture, so a child can follow along without reading dense instructions.

    What age is this suitable for?

    It is built for ages 8 and up with a parent nearby. Younger children can do the wooden assembly happily, while an adult usually helps with the wiring and the first charge.

    Do I need glue, screws or any tools?

    No screws and no tools. The wooden parts press together with numbered tabs, and a small glue stick is included for one or two joints that need extra hold.

    How well does it actually fly?

    It is a beginner drone built for short indoor flights and calm outdoor days, not for wind or long range. That is the point, it is easy to control for a first time pilot and light enough that a crash means picking it up and going again.

    What happens when they crash it?

    Crashes are part of learning, which is why 4 spare propellers are included in the box. The propellers pop off and on by hand, and the wooden frame absorbs the knocks far better than thin plastic.

    What if I don't like Little Pilot's DIY Wooden Drone Kit?

    Try it for 30 days, and if you are not happy for any reason we will refund you in full under our 30 day money back guarantee. Your purchase is completely risk free.

    They Built It. It Flies.

    Most model kits end up on a shelf the moment they are finished. This one ends with your child watching something they made with their own hands lift off the ground, which is a feeling no plastic toy off the shelf can give them.

    Two Builds In One Box

    Every other kit hands you a plastic remote in a bag. Here the controller is laser cut wood your child assembles too, so you get double the build time and double the moment where they sit back and say they made that.

    • First Toy He Actually Built Himself

      He has not asked for the tablet once since Saturday.

    • Building The Remote Was The Best Bit

      I expected a plastic controller in a bag like every other kit. My daughter built the whole thing out of wood and she is prouder of the remote than the drone.

    • Bought A Second One For My Younger Son

      Should have ordered two from the start. The younger one sat watching the whole build and then it turned into a whole thing, so now they each have their own.

    • Spare Propellers Saved Us

      He crashed it into the fence twice on day one. Swapped a prop by hand in ten seconds and we were back flying.

    • Best Afternoon We Have Had In Ages

      My husband and our nine year old sat at the kitchen table for three hours and I barely heard a word out of either of them. No screens, no arguing, just the two of them figuring out which piece went where. Then they went straight out to the garden to fly it.

    • Thought The Wood Would Be Flimsy

      Honestly expected balsa that would snap on the first landing. It is proper plywood and it has taken a real beating already. Instructions were clear enough that my son did most of it without me.
