ornithopter

Hahaha, nice to hear. I googled designs on ornithopter from dune and got a lot of good pics and such

@SmOrtBoii I think I'm having the problem with the wings aren't flapping properly after I put on the update for the game

I think I figured out the problem with the flapping. For ME it was working great because my device reversed the slider one and two imputes, but when other people downloaded it the sliders operated correctly so the flapping action was... weird. It corrected it’s self when I got the update. I’ll update the model soon... and maybe add some nose fins... or Atreides colors??? Who knows?

Oh and the wings when the main body flaps upward the tips try downward slightly. But I saw small wings or fins in the front on the nose on the dune model. Stability would increase in theory but it's good as is. It flys great. And the tailsteering design is awesome

@TestRunner We gotta build a Sand WYRM from DUNE! it may assist in mapping out a basic frame for your other designs. Like the fish and anatomical.

I downloaded I lot of research regarding the design of the ornithopter. Shoot I thought it was just from dune but got a lot of tech behind it. Plus old favorite screen shots of DUNE the building of a dynasty game on pc. Wow..199?...sumthin. haha

Yeah a Sand Wyrm would be the Shyt!.

Do you mean flap downward instead of upward? I’ll have to try it... it may help to stabalize the craft if you turn the main engine off... it was really only meant to get the craft off the ground it seems to fly pretty smoothly for me that way. Thanks for the input! Btw, Glad to see there’s another dune fan in the bunch! @SpaceChimp1

Not gonna lie, I’ve been working through the dune series and that’s definitely what sparked this idea. I’m soooo frickin pumped for the movies!
@SpaceChimp1

I like the model and how well put together it is. Its functionality is great. However I find the actual flapping of the wings to be more an aesthetic quality and a bit jolting. I think that if the hinges were working in oppositional directions it would stabilize but not sure how that would look.

Dude I was just talking about DUNE and an Ornithopter and then I look at your craft. HaHa, was it an Atreides aircraft? Can't wait to check it out,!

Thanks! I think I’m definitely going to try that on my next update of this craft! I think I’ll also try to update the program so that there is more automation as far as when flapping is activated. Thank’s for the feedback!
