Ok i am actually starting to understand how these work. So by the looks of it it first must be very light below 1000 pounds or kilograms and it as to have around 150 drag points. And iv made this as simple as humanly possible for any person to understand if u look at the parts to the mechanics of the ornithopter its a few rotators and i will be publishing a part that spins the circles for u as it has extensive codeing inside it so i will publish that part so u can add that to sub-assemblys. I will also be publishing a ornithopter mechanism with instructions on how i made it so look foward to that and give me any advice to makeing a good ornithopter mechanism im the comments thanks !

    If u click on the parts of the ornithopter mechanics it’s a few small rotators on free spin and a part I will be publishing to spin the circles and u also need to placement and the joints that move the wings up and down are joint rotators on floppy with 90 degrees of movement this is a bit of advice to try help u make one of ur own
