Auto Credit Based on LePancake's Ornithopter wings
An ornithopter (from Greek ornithos "bird" and pteron "wing") is an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings. Designers seek to imitate the flapping-wing flight of birds, bats, and insects. Though machines may differ in form, they are usually built on the same scale as these flying creatures. Manned ornithopters have also been built, and some have been successful. The machines are of two general types: those with engines, and those powered by the muscles of the pilot. ( info by wikipedia )
Actions:
1 to release the lock for the wings
2 to activate the lock for the wings ( vtol down )
3to unlock the sweep back wings ( vtol up and down )
This is my best creation so far

I love every aspect about it. The looks, (I love steampunk!) And the way it flies!
@BrockMan89 haha thank you very much :)
Absolutely beautiful. Well done.
Nice! I'm actually building a plane that's able to flap its wings like this one, but the only difference is that it's able to fly forever!
Im yet to find an ornithopter that isnt a little tricky to get used to and fly pretty much like this so i would say this is good. Always keep improving though :)
@dsr1aviation anyways what do you think? Is it nice or is it ok? Does it need some improvements?
@dsr1aviation haha Yep, thanks for upvoting though :) one of the problems is fuel consumption but meh it's still awesome though lol
A bit tricky to learn to fly but lots of fun when you do :)
