The Crossbow RC Ornithopter has been redesigned, giving
it a more bird-like appearance! The original Crossbow was
the first radio-controlled, flapping-wing aircraft kit with
a sleek fiberglass body and modular gear unit. The new version
has the same high-efficiency wing and reliable glide capability
as the original. Instead of the airplane style tail, it now
has a bird-like tail and shorter body, making it look more
like a real bird!
Details
can be sculpted onto the fiberglass body with lightweight
foam clay, resulting in an even more lifelike appearance!
