I'd like to build this fictional plane
It's in a movie i enjoyed a lot, called 'Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow'
You can watch a short clip and how it is supposed to fly here at 0.12 / 0.15
Aside from shape which is incorrect but may be rebuilt from scratch, i'm totally unable to build the fluttering part, orange in the sketch
When i start playing with pistons and rotors it all ends up in a mess
Can anyone shape me out a proper ornithopter system for the wings with no xml mod plz?
There's also a challenge btw for the ones interested
Challenge apart i grant 3 ups for simple fluttering wings
Give 10 ups if the system is good enough to have the plane flying without engines, not xml modded and with some explanations so to have an hybrid plane and understand why and how it works
I also put a Deadline, just not to fill the site with votes, say 2 weeks from now on Sat 7th july
Thanks in advance

No prob @FGW2014 i think my approach was wrong
With this stuff one should first build the engine and then a plane based upon it, thanks as welll
i have no idea, i have never tried using anything other than pistons and i cannot see a way to do that here.... sorry man, im not the guy to ask xD
@vonhubert just put down everything, it took a while to explain :D
Help with what?
