primal umbra
It flies and climbs with pretty decent stability. Just press the up arrow as soon as the sim starts. Mostly uploading it since it's a functional flapping mechanism; maybe you can use it to develop something with more complete flight controls. It has been fun figuring it out.

Thats sick

It looks so goofy lol
Too bad it can't be ran too fast without exploding

It can be ran much faster and not explode. The limiting factor is the pitch control. The springs can't maintain proper AOA when it's ran faster so it produces inconsistent / no lift.

Yeah that's kinda the issue with using springs in this sorta stuff
Similar issue behind valve float in engines
Unless you can change the spring rate on the fly it's not really viable at faster speeds without ruining your lower speed efficiency

how controllable is it? like how many DoF
