Plane with folding wing's being very unstable
So i built this plane that can fold its wing using the robotics parts and whenever i pitch up or down the wings flap around like a bird. I am very dissapointed since it took a long time to build for it to not work. Does anyone know the reason to my problem???

Have you tried lower damping values and/or enganging the servo locks?

That gives me an idea to build an Ornithopter.

Yea i have tried that but it just keeps flopping around.

You *might* be able to shore things up by activating Autostruts AFTER the wings are in the flying position. They will likely not have the folding function with Autostrut activated, but they might be a little more stable. Turning off Autostrut before needing to move the wings might also restore the original robotic motion...
Good luck!

This might not mean anything but do the servos have sufficient power? You might also want to try rigid attachment to some parts.
