Gryphon

Gryphon is the best flapping-wing model kit for beginners. New interlocking wood parts make it easier to build, while still a challenging project for ages 14 and up.

Gryphon can fly for half a minute with the included rubber band. It has a 16 inch wingspan and weighs 1/4 ounce.

Gryphon is a great starting point for the Science Olympiad flying bird event. You should build this model to gain experience and then move on to more advanced designs.
