Post a video of your Bionic Bird flying beyond the clouds and I'll order one too. (Once I get my credit card paid off from buying the high speed camera.)
Here's the first video I found about the bird. I used the "L" key to skip forward a bunch of times. The flying doesn't occur until near the end of the video.
I don't like tilting a phone for control. It would be nice if the released the App's code so it could be hacked to use different inputs.
It doesn't look like this thing is going to be flying "beyond the clouds" anytime soon.
You can't afford to wait, Furtive Boy: the $80 sale will be over soon!
Says the person living in Frysville.
Frys doesn't have a store up here.
This is the cheapest one at HobbyKing.
The HobbyKing one doesn't look as Furtive as the Bionic Bird.
I also found this $31.48 bird at Amazon.
Here's a "flying" bat. (Sorry about the giant images. I was too lazy to resize them.)
The good news is this doesn't use a smartphone as a controller. The bad news is it dangles from a string and doesn't really fly.
If you imagine hard enough you can pretend it's like a control line airplane from the past.
Biomimetic bionic.. they almost had me, but biotronic is missing. I need biotronic too.
