The sound of one wing flapping
I've received several good suggestions for how to make a wing flapping sound. Thanks for those -- it ends up that what we actually wanted was a kind of enhanced fluttering sound (which Kirk ended up making into a microphone for me, after attempts #1, 2 and 3 all met with his dissatisfaction).
To make my own flapping sounds (which I think ended up sounding pretty good), I actually built a kind of pseudo-wing out of cardboard, with triangular "feathers" cut in the trailing edge. That gave me pretty much the sound I was going for, but it's not what Kirk wanted.
In any case, it's sorted out, and thanks for the suggestions.

Fortunately, the board crashing was kind of a blessing in disguise. The actors got some work in that they needed, and wouldn't have been able to do if we'd proceeded on plan last night.
It was still a really stressful and annoying blessing, but at least we recovered and are at least theoretically in a better position than we would have otherwise been.
It's all about the silver linings.
