Auto Credit Based on SpiritusRaptor's Mechanical Onithopter V4
Just had to try the ornithopter with the new Infinity Rotator, and it works well!
Thrust to start, VTOL slider up a little until you have some forward momentum and then move it back to centre. At around 50pmh slide the VTOL down slowly until she takes off, and then detach the landing gear (Activation 1).
Use the VTOL slider to adjust pitch, and it will be around the first notch down.
Enjoy

Do a V6 with gyro!
@SpiritusRaptor yeah, I can fly some exp. Planes well, some not.
Thank you, it is experimental and so not so easy to control! @stealthyfan
@SpiritusRaptor I can't control it well, but it's beautiful
@stealthyfan Like @EvanTheEpic11 said
Use the throttle to flap and use the vtol to change whether you flap up or down its quite fun and easy once you get the hang of it @stealthyfan
@SpiritiousRaptor I can't fly it!! Looks cool tho! And we all know it doesn't matter if it flies well in simpleplanes, it needs to look good.
Thanks @Sarpanitu
@ctjet Cool!
I was 3d printing ornithopter parts as I saw this, the timing is perfect.
@SpiritusRaptor i set you a challenge of trying to make the ornithopter into a flapping bird
Great concept and works great !!!
@LeWhaleShark Thanks! Lots of trial and error, and my first version has got to be around a year ago...
This is by far one of the coolest things I have ever flown in Simple Planes! How were you able to pull off such an amazing creation like this? This needs to be at the top of the featured list!
Awesome design.
I only know the term ornithopter from Beseige...
Idea- rocketplane possibly an X-15 powered by missiles!
That is from the book freak the mighty
Well, I forgot to detatch 1... I had a hopping machine on a runway, that is until I crashed.
The only thing I don't like about this creation is the spin block. For each rotation forward, there has to be a backwards one, which means in order to glide this creation, you must wait until the rotator reverses all the way, and only then can you glide. Otherwise 10/10
Amazing!
Check out some of my newest stuff pls :D, and maybe follow
Build*
@SpiritusRaptor np m8 btw . Awesome buiod
@ArtisticFailure Thanks
