Description

Desired capability or behavior.

Make reasonable defaults for Aviary throughout the code, especially if the options are subtly different. Whichever converges more reliably should be the default, after that then the one with the fewest number of inputs makes sense, or something where you can measure the physical properties of the aircraft. Do this throughout the code and for most all levels.

This issue is broad on purpose; please consider this for all parts of code you're developing
