Retreat, Hell!



Shivang, try building a smaller orni first. That way you can learn about gear boxes and flapping mechanisms required for a certain payload capacity. See if you can source the mechanical parts from overseas. I tried (and succeeded) in building my own mechanism but had to invest a lot of time and money. Purchasing a ready-made orni gear box would be a much wiser option.
Here's my thread:
