Default RE: servos

I am always very doubtful of the long term reliability of servo extensions, especially in large planes where the extension will not be frequently demated/mated to prevent contact corrosion. It is so easy to just cut the existing wiring in two and solder in a suitable extension length of the proper gage wire. Now, no connections to corrode or fail as time passes. Also much less expensive if that matters. If you must use extensions, insist on gold plated connectors and wire at least as large a gage as the original servo wire.

I use 20ga to 22ga wire for all extensions, except for small foamies, regardless of the servo wire size.

I haven't used these yet personally, but I've heard some good feedback on them.
