I buy 22 gage intercom wire at radio shack it is 3 wires in one sheeth. Cut the end off your servo ,solder the three wires on to the servo, then solder the connector back on the 22 gage wire. It is a pain to have the white wire or any of them to corrode , and your connection is buried in the middle of your wing. Don't let radio shack sell you telephone wire that is not stranded, it is solid wire. Hope this helps you some....... Jacque PS the colors are not the same so the grn. intercome wire will go to your black servo wire and the orange will go to the white servo wire and the red to red.

Is there a vendor that sells 50 or 100 foot spools of servo wire? (same colors, gauge, strand count, insulation)

I will be needing some soon.

I should have posted sooner. Sorry about that. I want to say thanks for the servo city suggestion. They have the servo wire that I am looking for. They also have some very useful servo arms. I ordered up some of their spring loaded servo arms that absorb shock from the nose gear steering. They shipped them same day and I expect to see them tomorrow.

The hansen hobbies site has a nice terminal crimping tool that I will have to get some info on.

This isn't my thread but I thought that I should thank those who took the time to answer my question.
