A hybrid puzzle which combines the moves of the Curvy Copter (hence the name) and moves similar (but not identical) to the Rex Cube.
- Inventor : Minh Sanghsu
- Mechanism : Hybrid (corner- and edge-turning hexahedron)
- Patents : Unknown
- Producer : LanLan
- Year : 2011
- Original Price : 32.00 USD

A puzzle with a hybrid axis system. It allows the moves of an edge turning and a corner turning hexahedron. The edge turning moves are identical to the Curvy Copter, which explains the puzzles name and the optical resemblance.
The cuts for the corner turning hexahedrons are placed so that only one additional piece type is introduced. These new pieces are completely asymmetrical and therefore exist in 48 copies, which is rather rare in physical puzzles.
Like every puzzle which includes the edge turning hexahedron as axis system, this puzzle allows jumbling turns.
Piece type signature: HC2E2[C1.2 E3.1 X3.4 L12.8][C1.2 E3.1]
Starting in 2017 a mass produced version (image 6) hit the market.
Edge length: 57 mm
Weight: 152 grams
This is the post on TwistyPuzzles Forum which announces that the mass-production version of the puzzle is released.
This is the post on TwistyPuzzles Forum which shows the puzzle for the first time.
