Auto Credit Based on FlyingThings's Libelle
Basically my first ornithopter...
How to fly it :
Vtol Up (this affects the lift the wings create)
Throttle up (you can go to 100% on this one)
Roll and pitch are normal
Landing gear retracts aswell
Also i'd suggest to keep the trim all the way down
So, now go and have fun with this little thing, maybe try a loopty loop, i dunno, i got it to 100-120 mph on low physics, i dont know about the other settings...
So yeah, just do whatever you want with it

Interesting build, flies smoothly with only 4 wings, I needed 8 wings to get a smooth flying ornithopter...
voll geil!
@FlyingThings alright, sounds cool!
@AWESOMENESS360 i've tried it a few times before but couldnt bring up the motivation do fully develope a working mechanism, so i scrapped a lot of attempts. This took me 3 week, maybe a bit less to make it work properly.
But hey, now i know how it works, there sure will be more of these things made by me in future
@FlyingThings I can't believe that you almost have 50k. Points, yet this is only your first ornithopter.
As an intro to silver plane
I was literally in the process of making on of these
Also, please forgive me for using the default color sheme, i focused more on functionality than looks here
