Tim Bird

For a person who still wants to watch something actually fly across a park.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

A rubber-band ornithopter with a 15.5-inch wingspan. Wind it, toss it, and the wings flap hard enough to fly.

Three reasons

  1. It flies by flapping, which is a stranger mechanism than a paper airplane.
  2. Mylar, nylon, and a plastic head. Wind the band and it is ready.
  3. The link is the Schylling Tim Bird with the rubber-band motor.
