Hi SimplePlanes community! I have finally made an ornithopter! OrniGoose is a canada goose ornithopter, no engines used.
CONTROLS:
Throttle: Flap Wings
AG8: Gyroscope
Yaw: Gyroscope Yaw
SERIES: OrniBirds
NOTE: This ornithopter’s wings produce a lot of torque, so it will take some time to get used to. I recommend sliding the trim up when the gyroscope is turned of. Also, take off from water.
I hope you like this ornithopter, and please upvote if you do.
Also, please comment and give feedback on this. Thanks!

Thanks! I will probably make more ornithopters, next up is another goose, but it uses one wing joint instead of two. This wing style produces even more torque than this one, but it looks a bit more realistic. @TheRealJBerry
Thanks for upvoting, @TheRealJBerry! What do you think of it?
