paul,
thanks for posting this. i've been very interested all along to know if the modern ornithopterists have been able to succeed where our esteemed pioneer aeronauts rested their flapping bird wings.

from the graphic painted on the side of their machine. it looks like they have another ambitious goal of flapping their way across the great lakes with it - my goodness! i hope they are successful with at least getting it aloft locally for a circuit or two around their airfield. that, alone, would be a tremendous achievement!
