INFINITE FLIGHT

A major breakthrough on function writting (thank you Calculus) helped me design my best ornithopter so far. Far lower wing torque forces and non loose wing joints greatly improve maneuverablity, structural integrity and speed, 190kts, 220kts with boost, over the Desert Dragonfly and Robin. I thought double wing would help reduce the oscillations but it happens it wasn't the case, this one is even smoother and faster. Nonetheless, the cabin is suplied with a big supply of barf bags. It takes a long time to pic up speed on land but bear with it, it's the cost of UNLIMITED POWER

A huge thanks to @Kimfri and @Freerider2142 for the help with the screenshots

    Note: if you need to take off faster, turn ag3 briefly on and off at random intervals (but don’t leave it on for too long, or you’ll wreck the engines) Timing is the key.

    One of the best ornithopters I’ve seen so far...

    @SemedianIndustries
    Truly. Just look at any one of my attempts compared to yours. Yours makes mine look like one of those pre-Write Brothers aircraft that you see in black & white newreels that fall apart before your eyes.

    I'd give it two upvotes if I could. It's ones of the best,and intuitive "flapper" designs yet.
