17 Bar/Link Wing Mechanism

grabcad

A feeble attempt to do a small revision to the wing mechanism from the junkyard phoenix to create 2 types of motion, a gliding and *power stroke* in 1 rotation. Starting working on an air intake lung design but still needs more work. I may work in 2 more links to smooth out the flap a bit more and redo the wings since they are sort of blocky. For those using Inventor there is a constraint called Showcase which drives the mechanism under the first gear component.
