Guys, I hate to rain on the prade, but 40 years of working with pluging cables in computers tells me it isn't a good idea. There are two issues you have to contend with. First is pin alignment. Four pins is one thing, but 24 pins starts to be come a real issue on a home brew connector. The second is pluging force. This is the real rain. With four pins it may require a few pounds of push to get the connector home. Now with six connectors, you could easly end up requiring 20 to 30 pounds of force to push the pins home. The pins on the receiver are just standard .100 spaced pins. The circuit board doesn't have much strength and trying to push home that many pins at once could eaisly crack a board.

A DB25 connector would be a better method, but you are going to add five or six ozs of weight, and you will have to solder leads to the connector, giveing a failure point for flexing wires.

I don't like pluging and unpluging wires on a receiver. Each pluging and unpluging wears some of the gold or tin plating off the pins and conectors. I use a pigtail of two short servo extentions to my aileron and a second set in the wings. The added number of connections could be a problem, but it is less a problem than the wear issue. I now have to sacurficial cables that when they get tired, it only takes a small investment to replace them. My one 4*60 had the aileron cables plugged and unpluged enough times that the "snap" had gone out of the pluging. Time for a new set when that happens.

What would be best is a Zif (zero insersion force) connector, one that is rated for several hundred insertions.
