Making servo extensions?
I will be making my own servo extensions in my 2.6 Yak. I found the wire and I found the "female" ends but am having trouble finding the male ends. (The servo end of the extension). Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Some guys I know just cut the wire in the middle and solder in the additional wire they need. No connectors to buy and solid connections.

The aboved mentioned method has worked for me quite nicely. MUCH CHEAPER than buying extensions. .50 per foot is a whole lot better than 4 or 5 bucks per foot!

Yeah. The problem I have is that the elev must be removed for transport so I will need the plug to stay where it is. Thanks guys.

Servo plugs aren't the only type of connectors produced. Dean's makes some good connections that would work perfectly, or you could go to radio shack and get some connectors that would work just fine. Basically, you just need to make three wires plug into three other wires--pretty simple, when you break it down!
