would biomorphic surface be an option?
otherwise perhaps composite armor
what about shaped cosmetic features (from Robots)?
to cut down mass and costs, what about light or extra-light structure?

coax rotor, not ornithopter? :)

If you don't have camouflaged features, perhaps add 2sf of solar panel
to generate .02kW...
Also consider that the radios can be detected by RDFs -- how about laser
to its nearest?
Also, do you need 140mph? you can get more endurance with less speed...
you might also be able to get away with making the computer Dumb to save
$/mass.
have you looked at the networked computer rules?
perhaps the rat king rules from THS?
