I can't see how inserting wires first works. I just tried it a couple of minutes ago. The wire coming out of the bird is slightly too short to allow one to connect the two. Also my understanding is that you don't want to be jiggling the bird while it is going through start up, you want it still and level. Once it has completed startup you should get the door closed etc.
All in all so far I think this will work. Hope the increase in flight time is worth the hassle of making it fit !
