Good hai :) ... i like slow fliers, they are very relaxing to fly.
Can you post some more pics?
Very nice bird joydeep. do post some detailed pics.
Cool! :thumbsup:
Could you show us how you built it?
:bow: :bow: :bow: Really good work posted on the forum after a long long time!!
Please do share more info! Not many Ornitho guys around.
Not clear if this is DIY, ARF, RTF etc.
It is 100% DIY :) exept the 3.1 g motor bldc, dsm2 rx, 0.7 gram esc and 160 mAh Lipo and 2 4grams servos.
Posting pics is a big problem here...every time i have to compress to match the size!! crap!!
hi, where did u purchase this bird?
I design these stuffs and it is not purchased. :)
And its just the first prototype :)
Good Job. {:)} Can u please post the build plan here? :)
If u are interested in ornithopters I would suggest to first make the freebird at www.ornithopter.org You will get a good idea on these. u will get free plans there

I hope you know that every (free) forum has such restrictions, for valid reasons which you can easily imagine. Images beyond a certain size do not add any value to the information content, but they do add to the storage costs. And storage costs is not just one time for disk space, it is also for backups copies... and that too, long term !
Just because digital cameras got cheaper with higher megapixel count, does not mean server hosting plans have followed suit ;)
Ya u r rite..I too think text and links would be sufficient :) and also "Just because digital cameras got cheaper with higher megapixel count" , does not mean everyone will have one.
Pictures should make things a lot clear. It makes sense to post pictures when needed. The need to resize also ensures people do not post too many SIMILAR pictures.
And if you absolutely want to go with bigger pictures, you can try something like ImageShack, and link the images here.

Hey Joydeep,
Congrats on your successful ornithopter build ! {:)}
I guess not many here are into ornithopter builds and are curious to know the build plan and the material source(s) for this wonderful built.
You initiative through a proper build plan will help others in their ornithopter builds.
Could you post the links to electronic items used in your build?
Thanks :)
