Alan, that was perrrrfect that 's all I wanted to know and more. I just added a powerful white led in a front eye, that is great, and the bird still flies correctly. Thank you so much !
Now I have 2 issues...
- Most bright 5mm led work at 3.2v / 3.4v. The MM voltage at this point shows 3.6V
- Now the big question is how much current can be drawn from that source without messing up the whole thing, as I intend to fill the second eye with another bright led, and a high power strobe ( Flytron) toward the sky as a safety measure
