The technique used in the Ornithopter worked well but it only had to simulate the varying twist in the wings as they flapped up and down. The greatest amount of twist was well out towards the tips of the wings and as these are moving through quite some distance it's just about impossible to see

Hi, The make distclean does not work in the xmlgrep directory. I am trying to do this so I can configure a build in a separate tree. If no one else that has more expertise in this fixes it I will take a shot at it, but not before tonight. Thanks. Cheers Lou --
