<I finished the little bird yesterday evening at about 10:00.>

Can't wait to see it at Small Steps!

<Part of keeping the weight down was helped by using the new BlueBird 3.3 gram servos. I’m not terribly sure about them yet. On another project, they stuttered and jiggled like crazy.>

So far I'm not too impressed with them either. I only have a couple of flights on mine in an indoor slowflyer but it seemed they didn't return to the same center each time, neccessitating constant stick twiddling. I burned out the brushes on the motor so it's waiting in line on the to-do list so I hope others with experience with these tiny servos will jump in with their evaluation of them.
FWIW, the slightly larger 4.3 Bluebirds have worked fine in a couple of outdoor 'parkflyer' type models. Tom
