\"LEDs<\/a>

LEDs attached<\/p><\/div>\n

Here you can see the LEDs have been attached to the wings. I soldered them on and cleaned up the boards with some isopropyl alcohol to remove any residual flux from the solder. I was going to wire up the ribbon cables to attach the wings to the main circuit board, but I figured I should wait until I have all the components in place in the body kit so I’ll know how long to cut the wires.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"Micro<\/a>

Micro servos<\/p><\/div>\n

I also picked up two micro-servos, which will be used to move the wings up and down. I went with the Cirrus CS-101 micro-servo, which I purchased from The Hobby People<\/a>. The wiring harness for these servos is slightly different than that of those called out in the instruction manual for the electronics, so I’ll need to figure out which wire is which…<\/p>\n

\"Washing<\/a>

Washing the kit<\/p><\/div>\n

Lastly, I gave the body components a bath is some warm soapy water to remove any residual contaminents from the molding process.<\/p>\n
