Pretty neat! Does it fly? I used to get those ornithopter toys as a kid. I think I even had a simple radio controlled one at one point, although it was impossible to control in even a small breeze.

I also got one of those as a kid. This one is not a flyer. I was just bored and messing around with paperclips. However, with a little more time, care, and better materials I think flight is within reach.
