Dr Kabuta builds smart mechanical birds. You can buy one of his frame design and follow him on twitter
@KazuKaku May be It is time to start a new line of autopilot firmware : APM:Bird or FlappyPlane ?

It clearly mentioned early on that he is using pure RC control, so not much of AP or atleast I could not find much.
So awesome! doesnt look like he is using an apm though
This guy is a genius. I'm amazed his invention has not yet been bought by a big commercial name (or has it?)
That rox!
What about autonomy and mechanical wear? maybe better than copter, but better than plane?
FlappybirdPlane? :-D
The guys at TechJect should hire this man to get the Dragonfly through the door...
Impressive work ! It really does look like a bird while flying.
Ornithopters are really an interesting subject, here's another one that can takeoff, fly and land autonomously.
there needs to be a glide button or setting
Better details here
