When I made indoor plane, I think that I want to make Pterosauria and a feeling to want to fly it was heated and rose.
I was going to make a pteranodon in imitation of a flight system like a real Pterosauria by using a lightweight part of Indoor plane.
By flapping of wings of Pteronodon2, the flight became possible.
The control of up and down (pitch) became possible by letting legs go up and down.
However, there is not control of right and left (yaw axis) well.
A fuselage inclined by bending a neck, but turned around a little.
I tried to change legs up and down separately.
By the thing, I was going to turn a direction of a fuselage by changing edges of wings as elevon .
There is an effect in gliding, but it has been overwhelmed by power of flapping power and I was not able to control Pteranodon2.
I added membrane between fingers of feet and I moved feet as elevon (computer mixing) and get possible to control Pteranodon2 .
However, the flight system is different from that of true Pteranodons.
