Lanlan Curvy Copter — classic curvy copter for jumbling and collection

LanLan Curvy Copter is an edge-turning shape mod based on the Helicopter Cube idea, but with curved lines and jumbling moves. It is non-magnetic, approximately 57 mm, and about 129 g without packaging.

Who this puzzle is for

• For people who want the classic Curvy Copter challenge.
• For fans of edge-turning puzzles and jumbling mechanics.
• For collectors who want one of the basic non-cubic classics.
• Not the best first puzzle for a child who does not yet know 3×3.

Turning feel

• It turns around edges, not around classic faces like a 3×3.
• Without jumbling it can be fairly understandable, but with jumbling it becomes difficult quickly.
• The feel is mechanical and more collectible than speedcube-like.

Magnets and mechanism

• No magnets.
• The basic moves are 180° turns around edges.
• Jumbling positions create much more complex cases and change the solving flow.

Size, weight and materials

• Size: approximately 57 × 57 × 57 mm.
• Weight: about 129 g without packaging.
• Package: gross weight is often listed around 138 g.
• Surface: black body with stickers or classic coloured surfaces, depending on batch.

Main advantages

• One of the classic shape-mod puzzles.
• Jumbling gives a serious extra challenge.
• Good for collecting and studying edge-turning mechanics.
• Unusual look with curved lines.

Things to keep in mind

• Not a speedcube.
• May feel crunchier and less smooth than modern premium puzzles.
• Jumbling solves can be frustrating without experience.

How to use

First learn to solve it without jumbling, using only the basic edge-turning moves. Then introduce jumbling, because it significantly increases the difficulty.
