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:

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.

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.
