This is a heavily "tinkered" plane with a little vizzy. It's a true ornithopter, no thrust besides what the wings produce, no wheel torque. Drawback is that im not smart enough to program variable speed throttling, so its only 1 speed but its plenty to get you into the air and buzz around. Let me know any suggestions to help stabilize it a little more, sweeping the wings rearward definitely helped but i still get instability when pulling hard g's during a bank or when coming out of a tight roll. (If anyone is interested, I'd like to try to make it vtol capable, I've got it half implemented but changed the vtol rotators to have no input because it's very unbalanced for vtol, it will kind of work but it's very unstable and at the moment doesn't have enough power to go straight up without some forward momentum)
throttls up and it flies like a slightly underpowered plane, cut throttle and it glides gently like a small trainer.
ENJOY! XD
P.S. this is a prototype and the first one I've made that actually works as intended, the only way I could make it work was with vizzy and tinkering.

{For those who may be curious, I increased the rotators and hinge rotators speeds by a lot to ensure they work properly, I also removed the mass from them and the wings in order to keep them from being floppy, made the battery portion of the craft zero mass as well and modified the hidden properties to have extremely unrealistic stored charge. Like I said, there is a TON of things I tinkered with the wings, and there may be a way for me to make larger "orni" crafts as well, but I'll have to work out a couple issues with weight distribution.}
