The Flying Mechanical Bird. The metal version is the experimental of flapping wings. Using pistons and connectors, the first metal flappy bird is flying!
Building concerns: Before posting this plane the pistons' speed was originally 100% It didn't go too well because when I try to go fast forward, the whole mechanism would just tear apart.
Landing concerns: Since this is technically a glider, keep the wings high above the front wheels to prevent destroying the wings itself. Also The jet engine on the bottom of the bird means that this is also a powered glider. It can only be used for a short amount of time until the tanks emptied and drop the engine which also activates the flapping mechanism.
Controls description: This is my first creation which features moving sticks and pedals. But the man who's flying the bird isn't holding the controls. He's just there to display that he's "Gripping" the joysticks
Controls:
AG1: Release engine, Activate flapping mechanic
