Had a dream that somehow swashplates couple be used for an ornithopter engine, I'm surprised how well it works. Top speed ~300mph, full thrust vectoring, though the engine provides an unanticipated gyroscopic roll force. I'll post just the mechanics if anyone is interested.
@Madmaximus :o
Did you try useing Throttlecos(Time10000) in imput instead of useing an infinite rotator
@Flightsonic yeah I saw the hinge rotors seem to make it less stable
@Madmaximus Looks nice! A couple comments down I put an unlisted link, I actually don't use any hinge rotators :)
Here’s what I have so far https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/SH8n9e/Ornithopter-proof-11 what do you think?
Could you post this so I can see how you made it?
Cool!

It uses rotors, honestly had forgot about the heli parts lol. I wanted to avoid infinite rotors but they're the only way to sync the wings
I have been trying to make a VTOL ornithopter but I’m stuck in the concept phase. Is this using the helicopter rotor part?
@Noname918181 Why thank you :)
Very cool
