Mmmmm, perhaps the smallest COMMERCIALLY SOLD r/c ornithopter.

Here's one that weighs only > 1 GRAM < with a 100mm wingspan (video, too):

There's no way I can accept that this thing is capable of 3-dimensional flight. I'll have to see it to believe it.

I honestly think that this is probably the coolest flying thing that I have seen in years. First of all Da Vinci, secondly.. It actually flies!!! Awesome

How is this cheaper then the Indiana Jones figure?

Well with the advancement of technology one would only think that creations of the past, can be made true now. It's only been a couple 100s of years since the designs were first thought up...

It's pretty neat though, that this was brought to life the way it was.
