RC Ornithopters/Birds. These will sell. I am just waiting for hobbyking to carry em. I can't find em anywhere and they cruise the wind so easily like a real bird.


I've seen how real birds easily fought fast winds, and I want an RC Bird/Ornithopter that does the same thing.

More resources here. How it all works..

Basically this BZH07614 dude has HUNDREDS of video of his builds.


All his own DIY stuff. They can be build with existing electronics from Hobbyking i think.

I like the gracefulness of the bird and the ability to glide.

Definitely can get a lot of flight time from these babies and no worries about crashes... they simply could take crashes so much better than planes.

The Cybird is still being cloned in China this would be a good low price starting point for ornithopters for both Flitetest and HK
In the U.S. Kinkade manufacture some top quality Orni's
http://flappingflight.com/store 

I have a Cybird P1 which is currently out of action due to a main board burnout , but I plan to replace it with conventional gear and modify it to brushless ( One of those "one day" projects )
They fly really well and are quite a blast .... truly different Big smile
Trumpy!
Does anybody know how to cancel a bid on e-Bay?
I put in a bid for a “Cowboy Outfit” and it seems I’m only six minutes away from owning the Australian Labor Government !

Yea these birds are expensive in most places because the good ones are still mostly made in usa. Not very common but a good one can easily attract birds and eagles and hawks to check you out or attack you. They really fly like real thing and fool even real birds.

Here's how a dual gearing ornithopter  works. Some uses only 1 main big gear, this one uses 2.
