Above & Beyond - Vehicle/Character - MDB101

#2

OK i did a ruff start so far…and ill try to explain what I have in mind for this lil project…

OK what I’m aiming for is a flappin plane powerd by two beings. and it will have a pilot and a navigator :slight_smile: in the pic u can see the two openings on the side there, well thats where the guys are gunna be standin on a big peddel, its gunna look like a big bicylce crank :slight_smile: and thus having a T base gear leading to the flapping crank mechenasim…that leads to the flaping wings… thus giving it a up and down motion. :slight_smile: ill post again soon :slight_smile:

ill be back.

Hmmm… i know it’s early stages MDB101, but the contraption looks a little unhomemade (is that a word?).

I guess we’ll see where it’s going! I like the idea of the two people cranking the contraption together. Teamwork!!:smiley:

Hello guys :slight_smile: and uh ladies :slight_smile: Today I created the crank for the flapping wing mech. uh its still at an eary stage so ill post again in time :slight_smile: this piece goes on the bottem and the pedels there are for the beings to stand on…ill make staps there too for there feet :slight_smile: ill be back/.

#5

At this point also im gunna add bolts…to give that connection feeling :slight_smile: ill be back.

Like this, that mechanism can’t work…no way…if you let it like this, you will have to change the middle part of that wing-mech…

what I mean exactly: like this, the wings can’t turn around the z-axis, what they have to…you can easily solve that problem with cog-wheels in the middle part of that mechanism…

Just my two cents…
