RE: Servo extension
I do what Gary does, I buy servo wire in bulk when it's on sale and splice and solder to lengethen my leads. A few bad things can happen with extensions if you don't pull and clean them once or twice a year. Even the gold plated ones. I prefer mine to be permanent. I also buy or make up short leads that fit into my RX so I don't have to be removing and plugging in my leads into the RX.
