for test flight of ornithopter i should throw it with head-wind or tail-wind ??

you mean to say that the fabriction of designed wing is not good or the design itself...how can i improve it??

Yes, you are right weight is the biggest issue but i am unable to reduce the weight. As in the wings, i am using the parachute cloth which is heavy and is not generating required lift...suggest me the material for the wing.Thanx

i am using parachute cloth without any airfoil.

i have designed and fabricated an ornithopter with flapping frequency of 4Hz and span of 1m... Actuation of wings is perfectly fine but it is unable to generate lift...what are the possible amendments should i do to make it fly...and it is a bit over weight i-e 700g...
