So I'm a big fan of gliders, contraptions, and ornithopters. So one day, I thought to myself, "why not make a plane that is all three"

The "Hive", constructed in the frame of my best glider, attached to two piston wings learned from swift ornithological, and a bobbing head i decided to add because it's funny. Capable of both gliding and self-flapping. Used desert template because it looked good.

Can "swim" at 30% throttle. Not recommended.
