Well Rodney, I guess my having been involved with the R/C hobby since 1968, without a corroded-bad connection failure and having worked as a Marine Surveyor and exposed to corrosion problems on many levels, my experience, is simply trumped by your experience! You know what's stupid about this whole disagreement? I will conscede that soldering is the very best method of extending servo leads. However, I simply disagree that the method is absolutly necessary and I feel it's recommendation to beginners is adding complications, they simply do not need.

Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to make like a JohnBuckner and have no need to dominate! You win Rodney ol'Buddy!! Good for you!
