I am building a twin engined bi-plane. All four wings are removable and I have a servo in each wing plus running lights in the top wing. I will have four servos in the bottom wing - two aileron and two motor. I am looking for some way to plug in the electric contacts between the fuse and the wings without cutting holes in the root ribs. Ideally I'd like to have the electrics plug in as I plug in the wing. I don't know of any plugs that could be glued in the wing and fuse that would do this. I would need to be sure the aileron plugs were securely connected for obvious reasons.
-Anyone try something like this?
-Is it a wise idea?

Appreciate your comments.
Thanks

Computer multi-pin (eg the 15 pin types) connectors from electrical/computer suppliers (Radio Shack over there?) work fine - even have mounting holes to aid screwing into wings/fuz's. I solder all the wires on then coat the lot in epoxy or paint-on insulation to avoid any shorts.

Newark.com or alliedelec.com would have what you need. We use connectors like that here at work. They have a semi-loose mounting setup on the metal with a beveled guide in the connector to seat the pins. It can be off by a slight amount and still have the guide make the connection. However, they really arent suitable for repeated cycles. Just my opinion, but I wouldnt do what you want to. Servo connections are just too important to experiment with. Hand plugging it makes you look at the connectors which helps keep track of their conditions.

RS232 connectors will work fine. This is commonly done in sailplanes. Remember that all servos can share the common (hot) wire, with only the need to run separate wires for the signal.

Thanks for your thoughts! I like the RS232 idea and picked up a 9 pin to test - but I found it very difficult to get apart. It looks like they would work well installation-wise, but once plugged together they stick like mad - which obviously they were designed to do. I tried to flatten out the female flange so they would slide together and apart more easily, but made rather a mess of it. Any ideas?
I have the same problem with the Multiplex 6 pin plugs I'm told are used on many gliders etc. - but I could hardly get them apart period! Since the cabin is finished with 8 passenger seats, I don't want any wires hanging around so I only have the 1/2" of space above the cabin roof to play with!

Havent used them yet, but check these out... http://www.hobby-lobby.com/hookup.htm Scroll down to Graupner "Quick-Fix" wing plug-in servo connector. These are rather expensive but appear to be just what you are looking for.

Thanks for that info. I checked them out and they look very similar to the Multiplex plugs #85213 Nand #85214 but come with collars to attach them, which the Multiplex do not. I bought the Multiplex plugs as they were recommended to me early on, but I have a great deal of difficulty in pulling them apart - even by hand and I'm concerned that if I glue them in the wing root rib and fuse, that they'll pull out and do damage! I will do a test with one set and see what happens - but I'm not optimistic! An article in Fly R/C <<http://www.flyrc.com/articles/connec....shtml>> gives a good write up on them showing both makes.
