    @Texasfam04 thank you, they are quite easy to make, cycle a piston and set it to throttle, make it so the bar above it can move with a floppy rotator and attach a wing to it, boom ornithopter

    I love it, im extremely suprised it does so well without any engine propelled lift. I tried it just launching it and thought it was cool then i read the instructions again and saw to use throttle. Its quite ingenious to me @FGW2014

    Well no, but you can use fuchsia large blocks and turn up the dead weight to 1000 pounds which is heavier than fuel @FGW2014

    @chancey21 ah, i just used the fuel because it is the heaviest thing i had to hold the base in place, it does not use any of it, is that ok?

    Can you remove the fuel, please? just replace it with blocks, and it will work fine I think?
