Too bad these things are so small that they have to flap their mesyal so fast...

On Aug. 15, he re-uploaded the Toruk clips in HD. So it's not new footage, but it's glorious still:
Leonopteryx 11-1 of Avatar: Remaking clips of Good Flight by HD

Here is a direct link to the page on his website where he lists the parts of his Toruk. http://homepage2.nifty.com/smark/Leono11E.htm

He's definitely still around and making stuff--the last video uploaded to his account was in December. It's truly amazing stuff. I had no idea the world HAD RC flappity guys. Orthinopters? Ornithopters? Whatever. Flappity guys.
