Status: offline 		Mike, I have 3 5945's going in the tail of a 80" funfly and 4 more 5625's going in the wings of this same plane. My quesiton is can I solder in heavy gauge wire instead of spending a fortune on long extensions?

So, if you don't plan to program them it will be fine.

Mike.

Status: offline 		Mike,
I didn't know you could not program the servo through an extension. My question is what gage wire is needed so that you can program it through the extension?

Status: offline 		Is this to say that you can program the servos with the stock lead, and then use the extension? Will this keep the programmed neutral and endpoints for instance?
