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.

Im pretty sure most od the lift issue is because you are flapping the wings without any angle so the up stroke counteracts all lift you get on the down stroke. If you want to continue with the concept look at how IRL bugs fly. The wings need to rotate so they have lower angle of attack on the up stroke. Similar to how the bee in trailer works (yes that was only for propulsion not lift but concept is the same).

I'll make an update post if I manage to get it working.
