I'm using one of those MPX 8 pin connectors for the whole lot that goes from the wing to the gear control box.
So yes i cut the wires and so i now got only one connector to put in/ pull out when i tak the wing on/off for the gear section.
For the flap and aileron servo's i did the same thing only with 6 pin MPX connectors 2x.
Cheers,
Ed
