RC Ornithopters are a thing, some are small and lightweight, others have a 3 foot or more wingspan. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn5pPy9BX3w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn5pPy9BX3w) the video is 10 years old, but a good example of a RC ornithopter. Here is a small newer one [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScLVUCHaYwQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScLVUCHaYwQ)

They are both fun to fly, but the smaller one is easier, no set up
