What is the definition of "Considerable".. yes there is a voltage drop due to the resistance of the connector, but not that significant...There is also a resistance created with a soldered connection. I just don't think it is worth worrying about... I use long extensions appropriate for the needed length and plug my servos... I used to make up "perfect" extensions, but the time was more than it was worth doing.

Hope this is the correct location to ask this question. I have Futaba servos installed in a Funtana 125. The aliron (2), the elevator(2), and rudder(1) servos all require extension cables. I have been told that there is considerable voltage loss through the male/female connectors. Can I eliminate the connectors and solder the extension to the servo leads? Is there a special solder that should be used? Should the solder connections be off set?
