Steve,
You rock. What kind of glue did you use to cement it? I'm wondering what glue is dissolved by vegetable oil.

HI. I used Gorilla brand cyanoacrylate ("CA"), but any super glue would be the same. I just happened to have some from another project. I first tried alcohol which didn't do anything. Next I tried acetone, but that started crazing the plastic servo housing, and I was afraid it would melt it. So I looked on line and found out about vegetable oil. It takes a long time, but appears to break down the bond without harming the plastic. As a side note, I saw another use for vegetable oil which I am going to try; soldering a wire to thin aluminum. The guy who made the video was doing home made capacitors!
Now, I have to figure out how to enclose the MouseAir so the cats don't chew on the wires.

Steve,
Cats are like that. I had do most of the testing of the project with a cat cutout as my cat would not cooperate.
BTW, Chickens and Goats have no respect for technology either. Customers have told me this.
