Hi Wings,

all the details (and more ornithoipters other than Cybird) are on the website I quoted. The Cybird price is $229 includind two servo's and a few basic spares. The whole thing just clips together, but you have to solder in place the ESC to the motor.

Controls, yes just like a aeroplane on the sticks. Rudder, elevator (two axis on the tail surface) and throttle (wing speed). The rudder control is identical to an aircraft in function, the elevator is a little different. It alters the pitch of the Ornithopter, but shouldn't be used excessively to reduce height. If the nose (beak?) is lowered too much, it van become unstable. Height it controlled as a combined function of elevator and throttle setting.

In the air the thing looks entirley different, it's almost it's looks almost distract you from concentrating on flying.

Once mine is flying again, I intend to write a review for the UK based "Flying sites" forum. I'll keep you informed.

Regards,
Ted
