Auto Credit Based on AgDynamics's Ornithopter
An improved design from another user whose name has escaped me. can theoretically fly indefinitely and all you need to make it flap is your Yaw buttons/ joysticks, can fly up to 190 MPH

@Acer500 it can fly faster and easier by using the yaw buttins instead of using the vtol slider and other buttons for flapping and originally the wings turned the wrong way to push the bird forward so each time it flapped it pushed on itself so I fixed that too
On Reddit you said you haven't seen an ornithopter for a while. I think you missed this.
It does seem easier to get the bird flying faster using the Yaw inputs rather than VTOL. Great base aircraft to start from.
What are your improvements?
