RE: Air connectors.
Dreamworks produce a very well engineered product line, in some respects superior to that of BVM, although I can't see anything wrong with either of them!

RE: Air connectors.
Yep! Robart/BVM Click turn for me...
I don't like the large single unit, probably needs lube..which will attract grit! Heavier too...
I have Robart on everything and I have NEVER had a leak...amazing product.

RE: Air connectors.
I have seen these used successfully. They do need to be kept clean and lubed. Also care has to be taken not to scratch the female housings when inserting ..
I personally use these
http://dreamworksrc.com/catalog/airl...ive-p-791.html
they are great ! I clean out the housings occasionally with q-tips and some o-ring lube.
For servo leads i use DB9 connectors and that leaves no connections at all to be made for me .. just slide wing on, and that it ...

Hi Dave,
Yes, robart and BVM have been great over the years, its for the SG Hawk which i need to disassemble everytime for transportation. Assembling airplanes in 35 degrees C which would need 13 bolts to assemble and lot of connectors would not always be a pleasant job. [

I too have used the airpower ones on my TH viper, one year down and the fittings are doing great so far. I think i will go for the same ones as i have used them before.

RE: Air connectors.
Don't understand why to spend so much money when you can find fine products (all the small things...) for your jet in HK, yes, HobbyKing...
I have many good products from them on my jets, never failed and great price.
Fror the air connectors I use: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ctor_1pc_.html
HK have a lot of surprises for us the jet pilots.

Plus 1on both V. I use the same air Connectors and even made me some nylon caps that will act as covers. The DB-9 is also a good think. One word of using the air connectors. Make sure your wings are all the way up and locked well as after you pump your system to 120 it will back a wing off the tubes I'm talking about set-up mainly.

RE: Air connectors.
Todd, those MPX style connectors look great, however i wish the female side also had mounting tabs ... That's why I used the DB9 serial port style connectors ...
the Hobby king connectors are good i'm sure, however the point of using a multiport connector is not to have to screw together 10 air line extensions one at a time. Either of the multi connector options Dreamworks sells are worth the $ with how much of a hassle they save.

Todd, are those MPX connectors 4 pin or 8? look to be a good idea though.

These are the same as a Multiplex connector with 8 pins; with a flush mount housing.
Woj,
We are working on having both sides made flush mount! Hope to have the male side ready in about a month.

Sweet, I will buy a few sets when they are ready. I am doing a wing assemble and these will be great. I like how the pins fit in these type connectors (spring fit around pin) better than I do with a DB9 ...

RE: Air connectors.
I am building my second plane using these:
http://dreamworksrc.com/catalog/tube...tor-p-790.html
Only problem is they are not small and will not fit in thin wings. Worked well on my Carf Tutor and is going in my Ultra Lightning.
Along woth ashloks for the servo wires, provides fool proof connection very quickly. The latch on the connector ensures that there is no chance of a partial connection. When you compare to the price of the individual Robarts it's about 15bucks more per wing but totally worth it for the time savings and goof proof imo.
