Default RE: making your own extensions

ORIGINAL: JohnBuckner

I would rather eliminate as many plugs as possible for reliability reasons so use very few extentions.

For ailerons for example I cut the new servos lead in half and splice in new heavy duty twisted servo wire to the exact length needed and no more. Its a very simple solderjob and its a technique that will serve you well in the hobby worth learning.

Same here!! There are only two extensions in my planes, I have made up two short ones and leave them in my RX so when I put on the wings I don't need to plug my ailerons in or out of the RX. Extensions can lead to too many problems over time. Why bother when it's easier to custom fit your leads.
