This is my first ever ornithopter. I am very sorry if i haven’t uploaded anyting for many months i have been studying how ornithopters work and the physics involved with them and iv been trying to make this plane for weeks but its been a real challange to make as i needed alot of coding and trile and error to make this. As u can see its in beta version as i will be creating more if these incredible aircraft so controls are normal to start fly in the sky not ground ok and it should fly by flapping its wings it would be very helpful if u could gibe me any important advice to makeing a good ornithopter mechanism then please let me know in the comments thanks !

    It’s extremely difficult to make one u just need to study them a bit more u need rotators that are on free spin and other complex parts to make them work but I will hopefully be trying to make it easy for u guys to understand how I made it !@LobsterBisque128
