This is Bill Huffman's 12 ft. span, scratch built from his own design Ornithopter. For a non-modeler building his first aircraft, Bill did a pretty good job. There were some initial problems which prevented us from flying it. We did perform some taxi tests however, sending Bill home with some suggestions for next time. The wing flapping mechanism was disabled for this series of tests. Bill was out as a non flying guest of the club, Daren Savage was the test pilot.
