The following ornithopter with 2 sets of ocelating wings was suggested by @Hyattorama.
Idk it worked alot better than expected in testing so I wanted to share it. This is nowhere near complete. This was my first test flight after building the thing and making sure everything is connected. It goes about 300km/pH just pointing straight up. The performance will degrade over time when I add decor and other pieces to it. So don't get too excited. And uhh. Hit that subscribe, I'm only in it for the money. Enjoy (this thing can't take off, just like all of my ornithopters)

I do have an idea on how to do it if you’re interested but it’s sorta complicated ish. @GenericWhiteGuy
@Hyattorama I have already been making the body look less like a stick but doesn't look like any animal I know of. Also made the wings have 2 segments instead of 1 rock hard looking wing.
@Hyattorama I gotta be honest with you. I have no idea on how to make it take off without it destroying it's wings. Maybe I could make this a water based ornithopter? Takes off and lands in water. Because that would be a lot more doable. Trust me, I tried... A lot.
That is definitely the fastest and smoothest SP ornithopter I’ve seen to date. @GenericWhiteGuy
Hey! That works fantastically well you’re the man! Haha. I don’t have any ideas about it’s shape specifically, but I think it would be cool if it could be seen as both a machine/vehicle and also something organic. I’m not sure about what type of animal ... the obvious choice I think is dragonfly/damselfly, but maybe you can come up with something more original. Right now it looks like a whale or dolphin or something, which is cool. It reminds me of the ships in that Disney movie Atlantis haha. So maybe you could play off of that... also if you could devise a way for it to take off and land that would be sweet. @GenericWhiteGuy
And idk. What would 👉, yes I see you over there. What would YOU want this thing to look like. No I'm not out of ideas shtfup. (All your ideas will be claimed legally by me with no mention of your word. Anything you say will be used against you in the court of law)
@Hyattorama It worked over expectations so I just had to share it in this stage.
