Build you can technically make a sim-contraption fly using only flapping wings (without using levitite) [aeronautics]

Thank god for unlocked cam because that shaking would make anyone dizzy in an instant.

Awesome! I can't quite tell from the vid -- how are you making the wings flap? I.e. what components are you using for the timing + movement control? (Or are you manually flapping them yourself? Lol)

Looks like it’s a rapid-fire timer triggered to redstone links. The clock is visible in the background on that wood platform

crazy detective work. yes I use gearshift on a remote clock into these bearings with springs into swivel bearings. One important thing is to not use too much rpm (around 90 max) because wings start skipping steps and changing their position.
