After years of trying, I've made a ornithopter in KSRSS. I've been wanting to build one for so long, but Kerbin and it's planets/moons are just not up for the task.

Luckily I discovered the methane rich moon of Titan which contains a very thick atmosphere while having a low gravitational force. This makes Titan a perfect place for ornithopters.
My design flies pretty well... however, it's does it very slow. I don't think it there would be any real uses for this type of craft... Propeller planes or drones would be much more efficient. :)
Nevertheless, it was a very cool project to work on.

Here is a small video of the craft in the wild.
