Auto Credit Based on Wheelmaker2's Flapping prototype "The Dragonfly mk1" (ornithopter)

Its even better!!! Now with 3 flapping pairs of wings i also realised that the still moving didnt improve stability when flapping so they have been removed and the flapping wings are larger and there is a new pair it can be propelled by flapping slower and the new pair and the movement of the middle (was rear) set back to the middle it also has a higher top speed due to the larger wings. I reccomend that you use this one instead of the flapping prototype "Dragonfly"

    It's the most simplistic and most effective designed ornithopter I've seen reaching over 300mph!!! And it has no complex joints just one rotator on the end of the wing the bird based ornithopter with complicated flapping systems are much slower and are easy to break when it's flapped at high speed I mean their top speed is under 100mph
