The wing in a 60-size build (GP Extra) I plan to build is long enough that the existing wire on the servo (for the ailerons; 11'' wire) will not reach to the exit hole at the wing center (about 16'' on the plans). I see two options:
1. A single extension which runs to the Rx. However, I will need to plug it in every time and I am worried about breaking a pin if I fat finger it one time and that's a $100 ouch.
2. Use two extensions. One to get to the outside of the wing; the other to get from Rx to the wing saddle area. Is there an issue with either total length or having too many connections?
What is best solution?
From my car days, if I could hardwire, I did! The more connectors you add, the more resistance!
If you have good soldering skills, I would suggest just cutting the servo wires, soldering the same gauge wire with the same colors and use shrink tubing on the solder joints. Use the existing connectors with strapping tape wrapped around them so they can't come apart.
