Can some good soul point me to a source for bulk wire, fittings, tools to make up my own harnesses for a 12' Telly that I am getting ready to install servos...2 for elevator, 2 for rudder all in the tail section and then 2 separate servos to run the barn door ailerons.

I'd really like to custom-cut the wires to length and then install the futaba ends. Where do I get the goodies to make this happen??

Thanks in advance for any help.

For Hate 2 Crash:

I have a thread going in the Crash and Rebuild forum on my Telly....it seems that a lifting strut failed, causing a wing to separate from the aircraft at 100'. The result was not pretty.

I am not aware of any kit changes other than the original plans call out nylon 1/4-20 bolts and a later note in the instructions call for steel bolts. Also, the plans call out aluminum tabs for end connectors to the lifting struts. My aircraft was built with brass tabs.

This aircraft is so big that I had to get a new workbench top cut to fit it!!! But it will be fun to get in the air.

For Info Providers: Thanks a bunch...you saved me a lot of time.

Now that you menition it, I think you are right, It was the Nylon bolts that needed replacing

I've owned two of these and both failed due to strut failures. I'm not building a third one. Make sure you replace the metal ends on the struts with something a little more robust and make sure you at least two bolts running through the metal end through the strut. There is a Giant Tele thread here on RCU that gives details. Many of these birds have gone down due to strut failures. Mostly due to the fact that the wing is designed the strut is critical. Look at the new Giant Tele ARF that Hobby Lobby is selling. They changed the wing to use tubes and made it three piece. That would be a much simpler and stronger wing that would relie less on the strut. My last one lasted several years towing sailplanes, had a G62 in it and flew great. You'll really enjoy it. Good luck, Jerry.
