I think my pc is stabilized now.

And yes. It is a real thing, and it really does fly! I will put it against a background, and if there is time, I will try my hand at a bit of trickery to show the wings working. My animation isn't that good, so I will just animate the wings to give them some blur for my final entry. 11147 Post by kena // Feb 19, 2008, 8:55pm kena Total Posts: 2321 well... I figured out how to get that bluring, so I guess I can call my entry done? 11163 Post by rjeff // Feb 20, 2008, 3:45am rjeff Total Posts: 1260 Say that is a real machine eh...hmm..kinda looks like flying propane tanks!...but all in all pretty cool...hard to believe that that could actually fly for real.

Here is a web site on the darned things :D http://avdil.gtri.gatech.edu/RCM/RCM/Entomopter/EntomopterProject.html Post by rjeff // Feb 20, 2008, 8:08am rjeff Total Posts: 1260 Ok I remember seeing something like that before myself on discovery. Very cool what they can make to fly now adays.
