@RealJock123 Thanks for sending me this Muddy... They did better than the Canadians in the '80s, who tried to make an Ornithopter WITHOUT basing it on any Birds ! 5 years later they tied a Seagull in a Wind Tunnel, to start over ! This Smartbird, shame they had to add the Vertical-Fin. The Trefoil/Anhedral Tail is really clever, & cute . Dunno if I can believe "Autonomous" though. Try "R/C, with Ring-Laser Gyro-Stabilised Autopilot "..?
