Brutkey

Four stages in the arm and leg flapping cycle of flying dromaeosaurs (i.e. vodroms) 90° apart. The front wings work much like modern birds, though the shoulder is a bit lower. Unlike the arms which generate thrust by moving down through the air, the legs push outwards, a bit like the legs in breast-stroke. The knees & toes point sideways, away from the body. The very long thrust-generating toe feathers point first upwards, then outwards. The fossils of those feathers show they are obviously thrust-generating primary feathers, so they must point at right-angles to the direction of flight, not backwards as typically idiotic palaeontologists show them.
