Hi,

I have soldered my servo extension wires to the servo's that control my ailerons. I am doubting wether it was a good thing to do? Will this give me any radio interference?

Thx

A good solder joint is much better than a regular connector.

Depends on how well you solder. I made wires for the wings on my Somethin Extra and they're much more secure than any connector I could ever put there. Hope this helps.

You will also find that the soldered connection will give you less trouble over the long run. Just remember to make sure that the soldered area of the wire cannot flex. Because it is stiff, it will break under flex or vibration.

Hello,

Another question came up, is the isolation around the three wires very important?

Isolation or insulation? Isolation, no. Insulation, YES!

Oeps

I come from Belgium you see, we don't speak english, ofcourse it is insulation

Insulation is VERY IMPORTANT. Shorting will cause a fire, ruin a servo, kill a receiver, kill your model, or any number of other things.
Use shrink tubing of small diameter to insulate the individual wires and then lrger diameter over the three wires. Insulated, a little secure. It works for me.

If you soldered the wires too close together you could have a problem, if they're VERY close together there's a chance just ambient moisture would be enough to short them out. It's best when soldering to use as little as physically possible to get the joint you need.
