Paul,
 
To avoid mid-air collisions with other aircraft, simply always fly at 25 feet AGL.  You're bigger and stronger than low-level birds (watch out for turkeys, though!) so they'll try to avoid you; insects and ultralights you can mash your way through.
 
The only birds that might argue seriously with you will be "nap 'o the earth" flying General Dynamics F-111 Aardvarks, and you can avoid those if you stay out of MOAs.
 
You also might want to shrink your N-numbers to fine print.
