These High Functioning Ornithopters Blew My Mind

Welcome to another episode of Trailmakers! Today I am looking at some amazing ornithopters that people have created using the new sail pieces. Some of these are seriously impressive, and now I want to try...

About Trailmakers:
In the toughest motoring expedition in the universe, you and your friends will build your own vehicles to cross a dangerous wasteland. Explore, crash horribly, use your wits to build a better rig, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find on your way.
Welcome to the Ultimate Expedition!
Journey over grueling mountains, hazardous swamps, and bone-dry deserts on a distant world far from civilization - it is just you, your fellow adventurers and the amazing, jet-powered hover-buggy you built yourself. Explore, crash your vehicle, build a better one, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find along your way.
Trailmakers is about building very awesome vehicles and machines, but you don’t need an engineering degree to get started. The intuitive builder will get you going in no time. Everything you build is made from physical building blocks. Each block has unique features like shape, weight and functionality. They can be broken off, refitted and used to build something new. Individually the blocks are fairly simple, but combined the possibilities are endless.
Expedition Mode is the challenging campaign mode of Trailmakers. You are competing in an off-world rally expedition with only a few building blocks to get you started. You must build, tinker with and rebuild your machine to progress. Journey through a big world, overcome deep gorges, angry wildlife and dangerous weather to progress and find new parts that will juice up your machine. The world in Expedition Mode will test your survival skills and ingenuity.
Sandbox Mode is where you want to head for an unrestricted, sandbox, vehicle-building experience. Here you can build anything you can dream of, and play around with it in the world of Trailmakers. It is a great place to test out crazy machines, and experiment with the physics engine. With tons of different blocks, hinges, thrusters and interactive vehicle parts - the skybox is the limit.
Trailmakers is even more fun if you play it with other people. Build cool vehicles and compete in mini-game modes with your friends or other Trailmakers online. Build a helicopter, send it to your friend, and shoot them out of the sky. Put two seats on a tank, and let your friend control the turret. As we get further in Early Access development Expedition Mode will also be adapted to multiplayer.

Yup, that parrot is really well done:) Kudos! The Toothless was really cool too. A detachable pilot is a great idea:)

[@notonlyhuman6073]

The parrot not only flew well, but also looked so natural doing it. Amazing design!

[@dianox_9990]

Didn't think these ornithopters would be that simple, i actually overthought them a little bit. Well this is what i watch your videos for, to learn new things, and get more ideas and Inspiration for more creations. Keep up the great content :)

[@nicok.1491]

That Parrot is not simple!

[@dianox_9990]

@Erez RotGelb thats exactly what i mean, but i guess its just trailmakers physics

[@f.u.m.o.5669]

They use sails, the drag will automatically angle the "wings"

[@KaneyoriHK]

The fact that the sails make flapping sounds when they move is ultra immersive

[@zerosumgame5700]

Yes, more ornithopters, and I think the flawless takeoff and the aesthetics make the Parrot a total win. I liked the Toothless and the other Dragon, as well, and sweet backflip, btw.

[@MechaNexus]

Definitely the parrot. It moves so lifelike and graceful. I wish I had trailmakers so I can build one as well.

[@kaidenlemonaden]

get trailmakers then

[@pondernit]

Its on pc game pass if you want a cheaper way to play it

[@jacemonster5]

The parrot and Toothless Dragon were definitely my favourite. Can't wait to see you build one of your own!

[@TheKingreiko]

Love how the search for the perfect ornithopter is a running thing in the channel, and I knew with the sails added an episode like this was coming.

[@StevesMakerspace]

Thanks for showing off my seagull and eagle! And... we're showing off the same builds on the same day with almost the same thumbnail, including that parrot. Weird coincidence. My builds had first used motions in three dimensions, but in the end I found up and down motion worked best for me.

[@Mr_NobodyWahahaha]

Good content tho u even got a heart from scrapman

And the fact that an eagle is a bird

[@Glocktopus42]

Much love to ScrapMan, been a fan for years now. But that pirate parrot just put to shame ever single creation you have built lmao. Great video!

[@ThatOneCreature]

The parrot was just....unfathomably amazing. Best one no debate needed. 20/10.

[@ihavstupid9232]

I honestly didn't expect these creations to be so good.

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

“this is unexpectedly simple” says the man who has a series of overengineering things

[@beaconblaster33]

that's what he said! he did not expect such simplicity!

[@lanky3]

Hi persun

[@errorerror8700]

Great builds. The detachable Rider was great, the big dragon and the parrot. And tdg of course. So all was great lol. I guess that means : more ornithopters.

[@Rezardus]

The parrot had an amazing takeoff but my favourite one definitely was the third. Loved the dragonfly vibe

[@cozy_blue4807]

At first, I liked the simple ornithopter the most, then the parrot lifted itself of the ground and worked perfectly

[@Jack_Wolfe]

I liked "Best Toothless ever" 's stability, and wing design. the smaller opposing wings were very effective. But the Parrot was shockingly good, especially being able to take off unassisted.

[@lepep6737]

For the sails propulsion project you are working on. I would like to tell you to use the stacked rotated servo method

[@turtleo4732]

You know it's gonna be a good creation when it's created by thatdomguy.

[@threepancake1485]

ornithopters have always been my favorite, great vid btw!

Almost all of those were amazing but that parrot absolutely stole the show. I for one am definitely down to see you create one yourself.

To launch, drive off the cliff and transform Scrapman : *im gonna say i didnt see that*

[@karenschneider7395]

ha! ha! ha! ha!

[@Ewout761]

Technically Scrapmans ornothopter from the high seas (the one that was for under water) was an overenginering ornothopter video :)

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

I want to see you get good at ornithopters. My favorite was probably Toothless, but the Parrot was an ultra close second.

[@RealPanzer999]

I so want to see you not only build a simple ornithopter but also a complex one(with all the struggle that comes with it).

[@locrianphantom3547]

The first one can fly a little, it’s just really slow and you have to time the space bar presses really good. It’s meant for the high seas map so that it can go faster and ‘use’ the wind for the sails to fly.

[@__Pigeon]

Don’t how possible this is, but I figure that making a detachable folding parachute with a figure might be a fun video. The idea being that the figure would be attached to a plane/jet and once released a chute made of sails unfolds to send the character on a nice little glide.

[@FD-xi5ps]

7:31 "this a pirate" that made me laugh so hard. and idk why. btw that parrot was awesome.

[@BeefIngot]

ornathopters with counter moving wings to stop the bobbing sounds like a great idea

[@gepard1983]

"it's even faster", ofcourse it is with more than twice the wingspan and servos instead of hinges compared to the parrot, btw i also tryed with weak hinges for wing rotation but it was less stable in vertical glimb and couldn't easy take off on its own... oh and thanks for featuring, parrot creator here. fun fact: i didn't intent to create a parrot, just an ornithopter, it somehow naturally evolved that way ^^

[@DrGzhero]

I was so mindblown by the parrot I had to rewind the video several times to grasp how awesome it was lol.

[@nickwenzel2917]

I would love to see an ornithopter battle with guns

[@looksgoodonpaper]

Very cool, love the addition of sails to Trailmakers. Would love to see you make it one with your cool 🤘 rock style!

[@olivers3973]

My favorite was toothless with the star posing pilot. It was hillarious!

[@_marou_]

This episode just had scrapman experience shower thoughts, I like it

[@buckduane1991]

The pirate + parrot trope began with the novel “Treasure Island” where Long John Silver had a pet parrot. Ever since then, it’s been referenced thousands of times to the point it’s become a stereotype along with the “peg leg” and idea of “buried treasure” also coming from the same novel. The hook-hand came from Peter Pan and eye patches have always been common among all walks of life. If you have not seen the video of the American Kestrel “hovering” in a headwind, I recommend it. His head and eyes are perfectly still as his body down to the very feather moves around to stay in place… so as a bird flaps, their head is very still as it’s the rest of the body moving to make flight happen. Literally, tens-of-thousands of calculations and micro-twitches from hundreds of muscles per-second… and for them, it’s as normal for them as walking is for us… but more perfect steady-cam with quad gyros level.

[@goldenking5982]

I like how when something bad happens and he just stares.

[@megabomb4324]

the parrot was mindblowing. excellent onrithopter.

[@jimmysta2348]

I think the first one would work on the high seas map cause of the wind acting as propulsion

[@towatchvideos5592]

Toothless one is easily my favorite

[@eb0mb2yt61]

That beagle joke was unnecessarily funny. 😂😂

[@ZirnithTirngate135]

"if you cross a bird with an eagle... do you get a beagle?" 5:12 scrapman stop thinking too hard about it my brain will explode lol

[@Chris-ok4zo]

Now I just want to see an Ornithopter that can grab stuff with their legs or mouth. Magnets would feel cheatsy tho.

[@19future91]

Sadly is the only safe way to do it, with magnets, Trailamakers don't like part collision, it will probably explode if u try

[@tropicalvikingcreations]

This was an awesome episode. These creations were amazing!

[@JustanOlGuy]

The Lubrication in yer Brain Pan is High Viscosity...!... And Dragon Ornithopter the landing sold me...

[@GraphicRob]

Try using suspensions in the wings to see if it’ll make the dragon (or whatever you make) not rock back and forth as much. Maybe even have two suspensions angled at a 45 to cancel the forces.

[@mentos9506]

Good morning scrapman! I love your videos so much that even though I'm on vacation in Puerto Rico, I still had to watch your video!

[@qwertymcenglish4825]

You should try to make a sailboat that stabilizes using a hiking system in Trail Makers. #27

[@AnasatisTiMiniatis]

Now that ornithopters are more practical, it's time for a multiplayer ornithopter stunt challenge!

[@user-lt2vm6dg9j]

The parrot was is my favorite creation that you showed and it woud be very cool if you make an ornathopter!

[@SirSaltythe1st]

Met a guy who made a super cool ornithopter dragon, wouldn’t let me try it out though, he was paranoid I would copy it and post it on the workshop

[@Adahy_Bullet]

That parrot then the second dragon both were mine. Moooostly the parrot tho. That one was mindblowing

[@humatrixf9076]

Oh hey Scrapman! How about this for a race with your buddies! An ornithopter race! You can use the parrot as a base for your own ornithopter! Not copying just analyzing the basic principles of the bird and apply that to your own.

[@BL00F0X]

That parrot was quite impressive.

[@MrMattkid]

I'd totally like seeing you give it a whirl.

[@Bread_Lord]

Fun fact bats fly with the power of jazz hands

[@ThatOneNon-Player-Character]

13:26 When plane sinks, it just become a submarine -Scrapman 2022

[@BobbyStacruz-bh7vl]

The parrot one is so good now make an over-complicated eagle

[@raygaris5681]

Ello ScrapMan! for me, if I had to pick, I think the top of the ornithopters would be the parrot. that parrot is so engineered well, it just beats all its competitors in one single shot. but design wise, I would go for Toothless. for me, I LOVE toothless so much! but that detachable rider (hiccup) that is a whole new level of not just ornithopter creativity, but also Planes!! who knew you can be creative with the detachable blocks! EIther way, Parrot for enginuity, Toothless for design and creativity!

[@ChirpoGuy]

Finally! I was waiting for this episode!

[@roneyeam]

Omg thank you I love ornathaptors

[@foxboi9032]

Ohhhh the second last one was cool, you definitely should make a video of you making one

[@WynterLegend]

Yeah, the Parrot has it all: Power, maneuverability, aesthetics, even the little touches. Now, let's see you make a CARGO ORNITHOPTOR! See how big of a Scrap Chunk you can pick up in Survival Mode with it (if the sails are available)

[@Tomasthedankengine]

bird+eagle= beagle this man is a genius

[@Koljon]

keep going i really like your videos!

[@tigrote100]

that Parrot is really amazing

[@patrickbliss9264]

[@disbatched7961]

The parrot is so cool!!

[@ycheky]

Build Idea: Car/Boat that pulls behind a kite/hang glider! Bonus points if your seat is attached to the kite and not the tow vehicle!! I think you did something similar to this on another video, but I cant find it! Maybe yall could also add steering to the kite as well and make it some sort of multiplayer Monday challenge!

[@nobodys_fax1244]

Bruh that parrot, soooooo good

[@archaicengineer6155]

The parrot and the dragon after it! 😱😱

Hey SM buddy! Just wanted to let you know I was jamming to Catarinth on my badass new hyper x headphones last night I'm loving it!

[@malhardeadshot6118]

today's Ornithopters hit scrapman differently and he is like Birds + Eagle = Beagle, (thanks to those mind blowing Builds)

[@greatdane5455]

nice job with river fallen

[@Martysama11]

Dragon and parrot are out of this world.

[@LSFord]

That parrot though… but yeah i personally want to see you build your own. Can’t speak for everyone but i can’t be the only one

[@retrograd3354]

The most mind-blowing part is that when u combine a bird and an eagle u get a beagle

[@imnoob8960]

Toothless looks so cool tho

[@JWalkerMSU]

ye i would really like to see you make your own ornathopter it would be amazing

[@alantreemedia1180]

More please!! Also build your own

I wanna build a good ornithopter too! but it won't be easy:( gotta stay positive tho, thanks for the vid and effort, this is why people like ur channel

[@gewoonbram974]

Hey scrapman, can you try to build one of those big triple sail sailboats and test it on the high seas map?

[@gabebanks6362]

Yes do an ornathopter video! I liked the second dragon

[@hollow9328]

MAKE ANOTHER ORNITHOPTER! I WANT TO SEE IT NOW!

[@jamesmedalla7043]

ScrapMan: The first ornithocoptor is bad, bareley flew. Creater: use it on high seas for better results!

[@TheKingreiko]

If you have 2 wing sets moving in opposite directions will that help with the body being thrown about?

[@philipdean3688]

Scrapman you definitely need to make one yourself. You could do a series of under-engineered creations instead of over-engineered.

[@dr.ashishraote8080]

yes make your own ornithopter. and please put more time than usual because making ornithopters is very hard and time consuming so please.

[@bran4663]

A dragonfly ornithopter would be cool

[@Lantry-pu9yg]

If you do make one it has to be based off a peregrine falcon, precision divebombing sounds fun tbh

[@Fv-hx5pk]

My favorite is the parrot cause it's look so cool

[@rndm_dude4202]

The seagull one will work much better if you flip the black sails upside down so that the hypotenuse is facing backwards
