Hi all, i´m new in forum, i have 60yo , flying airplane r/c model since 12yo, two mounths ago i started to project an ornithopter, untill now i build 6 prototipes not to flight yet but to test mechanism, wings, lift, etc...  a hard walk...  after more than 10 mechanism configurations i have a light and reliable
mechanism  with dynamic wing twist.
Now i need find a way to make a mechanic wing lock to soaring... if someone have any tips, it will be welcome.
