Instructions to Build an Ornithopter

Introduction

Ornithopters are like rubber-powered model aeroplanes but they power themselves by flapping wings rather than turning a propeller. The Ornithopter home page has more details on how they work. They also have online plans for two ornithopters: Freebird 2 and Mosquito. I am going to make one as soon as I have the time. If I can design a different ornithopter I will put the design on this page.
