Auto Credit Based on SpiritusRaptor's Mechanical Onithopter V3 by SR - SINGLE WING
Revisited the mechanically powered Ornithopter idea. With new materials and techniques she is now quite stable and the wings actually flap.
For take-off; 100% power, she will take a bit to get moving, but she will. At around 80mph release the wheels and don't climb to steeply, maybe 5%,
Keep her above 100mph ideally. Use VTOL to trim the pitch, I have found between center and the first upper notch to be the sweet spot. She also lands and takes off in water.
Enjoy. SR.

Thanks :) @PhilipTarpley
Simply incredible...can't believe the stuff you've come up with.
Жаль,у меня не полная версия Simple Planes,ща бы скачал!
@Stampede Depends, on the fighter jets, I spend a fair bit of time researching and looking at pictures, however the build is maybe a 3 sessions eg. afternoons, unless I get a snag. The longer reseaching and thinking about the build the quicker it goes.
@Stampede How g?
really cool design but the engines turned off midair and it still said i had 100% fuel?
Wow. That is absolutely amazing!
