SO its time to upload my dream build now... started my rc hobby just few months before but.. more than anything ornithopters are my favorate and i didnt go for buying one.. instead i decided to make one.. gone through all the website as possible.. didnt find any build log.. :( :(
finaly decided to build my own so that i can make a build log later.. ;D
selected kinkade's slowhawk as my model and started to download as many pictures of that.. using my ideas and  stuffs available locally and started my build few monts back.. :P
the main problem was the gear assembly.. :banghead: :banghead: and searching for proper gears.. i dont want to spent more by getting gears online..
got some help from kazuhiko Kakuta(rcgroups) and models previously submitted in RCIndia as well.. :bow:
now the wing action is almost good in my calculation getting enough trust..
see my video of wings test... and please give your valuable suggestions...

Nicely Made. It is seems to work perfectly. By the rate of flapping as seen in the video i don't think you need to do a thrust test it seems to have sufficient thrust. it will take to air at ease.

Please take care for the CG. It apparently seems behind than where required. The Lipo which is now located where CG is desired can be move ahead in my opinion.

Fabulous fabrication and crafting. Nicely done waiting for the video.  {:)} {:)} {:)}
