Quintessential ornithopter, with flapping wings and feathers. The operator shifts his weight to stand on pedals which raise the wings. Connected to the wings are springs, which extend as the wings rise. The operator can also lift the wings with a hand lever. When the operator grabs the bar, removes his weight from the pedals, and allows the springs to recoil, the wings fall with great force.
