I deleted the claim that alphonse penaud introduced idea of powered ornithopter in 1874. Info in article shows there were earlier examples. Also added reference for Spencer work in 1960s. Corrected false claim that 1991 model was 1st with remote control.

I removed the information about Pierre Julien's "ornithopter" because I discussed it with the author of the referenced work and he said it was actually an airplane, not an ornithopter. I also added some minor clarifications.
