'The Flapper' recentley flew the first sustained flight of manned Ornithopter in July.  You could say it's a milesone in flight, people have been trying to fly like birds long befor the aeroplane came along.  Here's a link to the projects website with video of the first flight & others.

It's a bit ungainly, but it works! :)

Oh yeah, it's Canadian (cue much flag waving & whooping from the far corner of the forum)! :cheers:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
