Friends..Colleagues..
a real way to get excited is, refueling the tank, or recharging the battery pack,and run to the maidaan, before 5.30 AM, and fly in a manner of scream...flat..emmelman..knife edge..s roll..falling leaves...
or, fill the tank, or charge the battery pack, look for a good time to get shades..and release craft in to water..and enjoy the sheer natural show offs of the crafts...
but nothing is going on as the heavy rain is going on..out side..
so its the time to think about some thing indoor..so, i decided..and made an ornithoper within 30 minutes..all with handy things around me..even i wondered as i finished it..

sorry for the multiple postings..my connection is too slow and basic..soon i will change it in to 3G..as our nearby tower installs...

i searched along my rooms for some stuffs...and got some balsa strips..shifted from my earlier project works...

i took some strips...

and took a motor gear assy, from an old scraped heli..tail rotor...a perfect EP 120 combination..

time to fix a cam on it..more clearly a crank..is from a piece of bicycle spoke..

i took nothing as a calculation, but all from my previous experience...
start to build..the main mast..all with drops of super glue..

so the tail structure..in detail...i reinforced it with some struts..in addition...

thanks for the balsa..light weight..

adding a cross post to hold the flapping hinges...

hinges..time to find some ball head pins..i took these all from super glue packing..have ample..

so time to fix flapping arms..

showing the BDA of the flapping mechanism..

showing the TDA of the flapper..in this position both stroke setting was almost same..but later i alter the port wing, in to less, to get a circular orbit in flight..

reveals the tail plane structure..i gave a slight inclination to get a circular orbit..

time to apply tissue..i got this type of tissue, from our depo..its a crape like tissue..

and finished...it took about 15 minutes..almost..

showing various angles..

Nice work !! ... does it fly well ? eagerly awaiting flight video ...

Buzz..fighting with connection...

and time to find a battery..no more to think..scrap one from any of my helis..

showing underside...

and moment of happy...at first she showed some erratic nose down attitude..but i displaced the battery to tail side, and especially to port side, to get a circular orbit..and not fast..but flies..nicely..a great satisfaction...nothing official about it..ahhaaa...

it is not possible to upload a big file from my connection now..so i am uploading a small file..and will shoot a good video at day time..

Friends..i posted this here not to show, anything, and not to boast..but you can see how simple is to make a craft our own..its nice experience..

Wow!!  Simply amazing !!! 

Buzz..nothing amaze..anyone can do...we call this ideas in our native languages as "POTIKKAIKAL" means, some 'HANDY TRICS"..and nothing is extra ordinary..you can see how simple is to make one..and sorry for the bad photography, because i cant move very faster, with my body, because of my bad health..but i will shoot a good video at day time..and i hope many of us will try once..and its my sweet ORNEEE...
