Completely autonomous ornithopter just throttle to 100% and fly. Uses the standard pitch and roll controls but doesnt have any yaw. All of the controls are embeded in the wings design. Need to start in the air.
I got the infinite rotators from someone I just don't remember who
Can't believe this is featured thanks so much everyone

A plane with wings that flap in order to provide lift@IndianaBones
U are become a god of this game :D
Man you deserve more upvotes than this
This was good fun to play around with. I kept getting buzzed by other airplanes but no harm done there. Careful about rolling when nose up and the airspeed has dropped some. I wound up cartwheeling to the left all the way to the mountainside. lol
I can go as far as I want when doing the challenge: going the distance. I just have to put landing gear on it.
Nice :)!
Infinate rotators. Could that be me? Also I got it from someone else too
Sure@Himynameiswalrus
@Andrusky thanks! Can you upload it?
If you click on locations there should be an option for either Murphy final approach or bandit final approach that will start you in the air@ceramite
Because the games drag system doesn't work well with it@Manboy
Definitely I have actually made a more compact version of the mechanism that allows it to fly. If you'd like I could upload it @Himynameiswalrus
@Andrusky do I have permission to use the wings for my own ornithopter?
how do you make it start in the air?
The best ornithopter in this game!! Very good!!
Why does it turn to the left?
@Andrusky check out my crafts, you might like a few.
Would love to maybe draw some inspiration from it@TheOwlAce
