How do wire them? Common charge and ground and individual signal leads?

You can do that but some people dont like common voltage lines as they create an effect thats called "star gorund" by electrical engineers (such as myself.. hehehe).

Anyway, wach connector has 6 pins so you can just solder each of the 2 servo wires (6 wires in total) one by one. i usually apply a blob of epoxy glue mixed with some micro baloons to the 6 pins after i finish soldering - for strain relief. and then to finalize it, a piece of proper size black heat shrink tubing in the finishing touch.

On my T-45 i had to make a connector for 4 servos, so i just CA'd 2 MPX connectors together to form one big connector with 12 pins - worked like a charm and cut setup time at the field at least by half !

Great ! im happy i could help.

Here is my double MPX plug on the T-45 wing. this one had 12 wires and drove 4 servos all together.

I finally got it done. Went to Radio Shack and they actually had 9 pin connectors with crimped style pins (no need to solder anything!).
Now my BARF wings are fully wireless!!! [8D]
Getting the first one installed took me about 4 hours of figuring out where to place them at the wing root, but the second one took only about 30 minutes.
