(Has Anyone else done this before ? If you did please let me know.) anyways it actulally works! (GOOD!!!!!). You might say "why is it an ornithopter has a prop engine?!?!" Thats only so its a little easier to fly and it makes it possible to get it to take off of any runway (not including the uss tiny because the wings are too long and it clips the island/superstructure on the side and breaks it but it can be used on the uss beast/Jundroo or whatever name it has when you see this craft). it also needs this little prop because flapping the wings on a runway makes it explode. also you need to flap fairly fast to get reasonable thrust from the wings the wingspan can be increased on the flapping wings stability wings are middle set of front wings
