Oh I'm dissappointed. I was expecting to see it climb a little or sustain a flight that looked considerably longer than its glide path.
They were hoping to do a longer flight with it. It looked like the pilot was struggling just to keep it in the air. This goes in my 'glider with wobbly wings' basket, not the ornithopter file. But it does demonstrate room for improvement.
Yes I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
