Did you read the description?

should add tail and bigger wings and use angle of attack on the wings to make it fly but if u want it smaller....

Looks like fun, I wonder how well it flies.

Aliasing makes it look so cool

You might even consider using origami like folds on the wings to greatly increase surface area on the downstroke - this might have a positive effect on lift carrying capacites, etc.

imagine flying in an ornithopter that would be amazing

That's incredible how you could build that, kudos to you. Hook up a little more power and thrust and you could possible put a camera on it but it wouldn't be still enough to capture clear video or picture, but it looks like it resembles a moth.

no way..? omg... Yes way!

any idea how fast is the flapping frequency?
do you think you may need more dihedral as well, because from the video you have an unstable "an-hedral"

Yes i would agree with you, more dihedral is needed. This project is no longer in production, i am working on another smaller project soon.

Yeah, it will have a micro coil actuator on the tail junction with a micro Neodymium magnet for steering...

what kind of battery?

Hi, it's a Lithium Polymer thin film battery (Lipo for short). You can purchase them from most hobby shops or you can find them in most small RC planes...
