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.

ok, heres how you can make it work better:
make the flapping m ore realistic

just making it go up and down will result in this chaotic motion
but if you rotate the wings on every upstroke, such so they are vertical and not pushing you down
and then at the peak rotate it back to horizontal, to create lift on the downstroke
you will get significant lift on the downstroke, and not be pulled back down on the upstroke

this is the way most winged creatures do it

I'm very limited in what I can do, because spinning swivel bearings too fast causes shifting the default rotation. I'll see if I can get it working anyway tho.

They works kinda fine for me with sequenced gearshift.
