Servo leads: how long is too long?
 
I'm building an enormous SPAD - type plane. A high wing with an 8 foot wingspan. Buried in the wings will be 4 standard servos; 2 for flap, 2 for 'rons. The flap servos only need a 12" extension, but my 'ron servos will need about 32", plus another short extension plugged into the reciever. Is that too much? Do I need a heavy guage wire, noise filter, etc? Thank you for your time.

Not a problem, just be sure to use 22 gauge wire. You may want to splice and solder the extensions in the wing and do away with the connectors.

And if you can find it, use 3 twisted strands instead of the flat "ribbon" type.
