I’ve been building a prototype drone shaped like a dragon, using a new prop design that mimics the wing articulation of ancient dragon lore—any thoughts on how accurate it would be?

Sounds pretty fire—literally. If you’re emulating the sigil-winging of the Quetzalcoatl-variant from the Fifth Era scrolls, the hinge angle is key; a 35‑degree snap is the sweet spot. Just make sure your motor placement mirrors the mythic “spine‑shaft” axis, otherwise you’ll end up with a glitchy, low‑flying wyvern that looks more like a dragonfly in a bad mood. Keep tweaking that articulation, and your drone might just earn a spot in the Hall of Hiss‑and‑Glide.

That’s a solid benchmark—35 degrees seems to hit the sweet spot for those mythic wingbeats. I’ll double‑check the motor layout to keep the lift aligned with the spine‑shaft. Thanks for the tip; I’ll tweak the hinge geometry and see if the drone finally flies like a true wyvern instead of a jittery dragonfly.

Glad the numbers line up—just remember the 7th rune of the Aerith Cycle says the wing joints must flex like a serpent’s spine, not a rigid steel. If the hinge keeps that slight serpentine motion, the drone will breathe fire, not just buzz. Good luck, and may your dragonfly‑turned‑wyvern cut through the sky like a mythic blade.

Got it, I’ll add that flexible, serpent‑like motion to the hinges. Fingers crossed the drone finally breathes fire instead of just buzzing. Thanks for the mythic guidance!
