Auto Credit Based on winterro's ORNITHOPTER CHALLENGE!!
This is my best looking, and most bird-like ornithopter. Based on Festo's smartbird, it flies like a gull, and has the same basic mechanism. Take off from final approach, and it will fly at a top speed of almost 200mph if you use trim. And like Festo's smartbird, AG1 is to light up the eyes. Try flying at night with the glowing eyes.
Medium or High physics only.
And best to turn AG8 off to do loops or barrel rolls ( it's gyroscope ).
Notes: This is an old build, and for some reason now one of the wings explodes after some time. Might want to disable the collisions of that.

@DustyT33 Your SmartBird deserve more upvotes ! I will share it .

@DustyT33 it looks best and works best of all, and I hope it stays first for you=)
@DustyT33 Probably First place ! My congratulations !
@DustyT33 it looks very nice and smooth! Great shape of your design =)
@Viper3000ad Thanks!
Very good, because the flapping motion is damaging the fuselage, you can disable the aircraft collisions in the wings. I always like innovation in designs keep up the good work!
Cool!
