I have just finished a blog on how to protect your electrical system for the heat generated by the engine and a possible catastrophic exhaust pipe failure.

Thanks for the informative article.

On my FB T33 I acquired some nomex sheathing that is used in full size aviation wiring looms and have used that for the servo leads from the rear, the concern I have is the visible portion of the servo leads where they connect to the extensions, what do you think would be the best way to protect that area or would it not be an issue, I had thought of using some aluminium (aluminum to you guys) adhesive tape burnished over the area, thoughts?

Thanks for the kind words oz.
It all depends if the servo connection is susceptible to get exposed to some kind of heat, and to what extend.
If this is the case, the wrap-around sleeve is pervfect since you can still access the servo plug easily...
