If it's gonna be that pricey, I don't think they'll sell a whole lot either!

They are a lot of fun. They are also a big challenge! Im told they will be available on their website in a few months. They haven't given me the link yet or a price.

SK Ornithopters are coming back!

Good news. Some awesome guys have approached me informing me that they have purchased the rights and all of the equipment and extra parts from the Kinkade family to start making Seans Ornithopters. I have been speaking with them for the past month and this is for real. They have sent me one of their prototypes and its truly a jem. They even kept the "SK" initials on the frame. Heres a video we made today of it. More info will follow.

*UPDATE* July 7 2014*- Website is now Live but store isn't running yet. http://www.flappingfliers.com

+ YouTube Video
