164-NR (ornithopter)

The 164-NR, or 164-NightRaven is an one of a kind... well last of it's kind since other ones have most likely been shot down during night scouting missions by now. But are you skilled enough to not get the diekilled?.

Okay... Ornithopter building is quite slow because of school and stuff. But I managed to make this thing in a few hours today using my friends pc. My phone can barely handle it on medium or high. It doesn't work on low phys settings sadly and it doesn't have a trim function. BUT!... I've finally managed to create an ornithopter that can actually take off from the ground! All you need to do is activate AG1 to extend it's sad excuse for the word "legs" and bend that tail up and let er rip! (VTOL up to max) And uhh yeah. I'll update it in the future probably but I've no idea when. Next weekend probably. Or sth like that. And uhh... Enjoy.

How to take off (solid ground only):
S1- Phys quality-medium/high
S2- AG1-Extends legs
S3- Pitch up
S4- VTOL up 100%
S5- ...profit?

    Alternate takeoff method: First, start on water, VTOL up slowly, then pitch up, and you should be good to go (it works better for me anyways)

    @Zyvx thank you :D And yes. I love ornithopters. I just don't have many ideas, but once I get an actual PC I might be able to make more detailed and better looking ornithopters.

    I love the way this looks and I see you made this a no fuel no engine creation. This thing is a flying work of art, good job.

    Haha. Jeez I did not look at the description I just dl’ed it and started playing. That’s my fault I’m sorry. It really takes off great, good job. In fact this is my favorite ornithopter of yours so far I think. So great job man! I’ll spotlight tomorrow @GenericWhiteGuy

    Yet another awesome ornithopter! I think with a little modification you might even be able to get this one to take off from land... it sure does the landing easily anyway. Great job man! You’ve got this ornithopter thing down pat! I wanted to spotlight but I’m maxed out on spotlights for a while....

    What’s that you say about being dead? Haha

    @Hyattorama I'm not dead. How disappointing.
    Well here's another ornithopter if you're interested. Enjoy.
