Big Brother Birdie (B.B Birdie) is the newer and slightly improved version of my last ornithopter. Only thing that has changed is the look and now it has a head. And a 3 segment wing on both sides. This one sadly can't be taken off from the ground, nor can it float on water, so you'll just have to deal with spawning it in the air untill I un-die and figure something out. Controls: AG1 to open it's mouth and spew "fire" which can sink ships with ease. VTOL to control the wings. And that's it. Enjoy.

@JettStorm you!
Ah, gotcha. Well make sure to tag me if you post another version with more tweaks! @GenericWhiteGuy
@Hyattorama I did notice that it rolled a bit slowly. Been adding a few pieces here and there. I'm trying to not use control surfaces because it would feel a bit off. The version I have rn has a bit quicker roll but still need to do some readjustments. And I'm glad you liked it :D.
Actually the one bit of constructive criticism I can give you is that the roll rate is a bit too slow. Did you try adding ailerons to one of the wing sections farther outboard?
Wow, fantastic!! Looks way better than the last one, flight characteristics are perfect, the motion of the body/tail and especially the wings are incredible! You did a great job man I love it!
@Hyattorama @LiamW Since you guys seemed to like the last one, thought you'd have a bit of fun with this.
