I completed the latest MFI (calling it the diamond shaped MFI since I don't
know what greek letter we are on).  This is the first 4DOF MFI with bimorph
actuators (11mg each).  The total MFI weighs ~85mg and has ~55 degrees
flapping at DC and ~95 at 200Hz.  Everything seems to work well except for
the (obviously) low Q and some coupling between opposite actuators.  I am
going to make some adjustments to the airframe next week, nothing else of
note needs to be changed yet.
