Beautiful... Aint she?

This time Vega Corporation brings you a brand new ornithopter design!
(Works only on medium and high physics though)

Build uses no gyros, and all lift in VTOL mode is actually produced by wing flapping!

Controls

Activate1 - engage/disengage wings
Throttle - jet engines throttle
VTOL - collective
Trim - trim (works also in heli mode)
Pitch, Roll and Yaw work normally

Other Notes

This ornithopter doesnt have any kind of weaponry on it yet, but it still has 1 metric ton of load it can take, so you can fit plenty of fun stuff in there. (You can also increase the amount of load by decreasing amount of fuel, which in this version is about 50 mins worth of flying in airplane mode.)

Have fun :)

    @Quercon I’ve just seen it flying around on video maybe through a canyon or over a saddle?

    So sorry I couldn't help with this, my main device finally kicked the bucket, I haven't even logged on to discord for a while due to that.

    @STENDEC I could, but i dont really have much energy left for it, also the main challenge was to build something that actually flies in this way while also handling nicely, and weaponry is kidna outside the scope of this project.

    Although you have my blessing to mod it however you like

    @Quercon I wonder if you can make a weaponized version of the Scarab?
