Cool! Nice job. You should look for some reference material on how bats (Im assuming those are bat wings :) ) fly. Plenty of info and video on the web about bird wing mehanics and probably bats. You should also investigate the use of follower. This will allow to get the wing tip to move ahead of the rest of the wing. Its in the manual. The wings membrain moves great! I want to see more!

thanks for the great comments, thanks for the advice volex, ill check out some stuff but its made for more of a gargoyle/dragon type creature but still i think the motion will be almost identical. I have allredy rigged the IK nicely, but the membrane is not as smooth as id like, ill add some weight maps soon and i think the motion is a bit to symetrical for a bioligical being.

They do have the good feature that circulation is promoted by a vortex which streams off the wing tips and circulation is the secret to lift. Thus the out beat as different from an up and down arcing stroke is fundamental. I'd like to see something in about 12 years.
