Regarding testing, aren't there any possibilities of testing just parts of the software, possibly via simulation, or is everything so inter-dependent that a live physical test is the only way to go? It's pretty impressive to get s

So there doesn't seem to be a video of the helicopter, but I found this, apparently by the same team: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eW9Xs... I didn't know what an "Ornithopter&quo
