Any body built/purchased an RC ornithopter?

yes,

I have a wowee flytech dragon fly, flies very nice

gr8..thats purchased i guess, anyone built?

I guess not many. The mechanism is difficult, isn't it?

Dunno if anyone has posted this here before, but here's a weird looking orni-plane:

hey plz can u help us in our project are trying 2 make an rc ornithopter

nice! did u try making one? what are your estimations, weight size etc?

We are thinking to make like the one shown in the video given below but need alot of help for dat


dude plzzzz help us

I would suggest u make a rubber powered ornithopter from this plan http://www.ornithopter.org/birdflight/freebird.pdf
(use the alternate crankshaft for symmetric flapping).This is a good design and should fly in the first attempt if done correctly. if you have done it before, try  motorizing it using parts of micro toy helicopters. You will have to redesign the gearbox (increase gear-ratio) for that or else the motor will not be able to take the load of the wings. The video you posted is also available as a kit. http://ovirc.free.fr/ornithopteres_hobbytechnik.php.

dost, we want 2 do it for our final year project n i am not getting the required specification of the material used in making of bird.

Dude!! in order to help you u, i need to know if you have tried any thing similar earlier. This bird i made is also my M-tech thesis and i had to work hard to make it flyable. I too had started with rubber powered models and slowly motorized them. Making is one part and to make it worthy to fly is another part.
