This is a test to see how fast the motorized wings can go. They must have enough speed to allow the ornithopter to get airborne.
The next step is to make a tail with controls for this thing, then throw it into the air and see what happens.

  • Hey there. is this ornithopter made by u? because i need help to come up with the mechanism, that stops the wing in the neutral position to allow it to glide.
