The human-powered ornithopter is one of Leonard da Vinci’s best known concepts, a predecessor to the aeroplane, though designed with flapping wings like a bird or a bat.
he 1:25 scale Italeri kit is one of the simplest you are likely to build, as all the components snap together, and you could probably have it complete in just 10 minutes or so.
Moulded in two shades of plastic, representing wood and metal, most of the construction - and the components - go toward creating a working aspect, as the model is powered by a clockwork motor that makes the wings flap up and down. The ornithopter airframe itself consists of only nine parts, the remaining components consisting of gears and other parts that enable the wing motion.
