Default Thermocouple extension

I have a Wren 100 that has a thermocouple lead that ends in a (sort of) RC style connector that plugs into the xicoy ECU. Problem is, it's only about 15 inches. Can anyone tell me how to extend it to around 36 inches to reach my ECU? I don't think a standard RC extension is appropriate for this purpose?

Thanks!

You can use a standard servo extension. It may affect the thermocouple accuracy by a few degrees, not enough to worry about.
Just make sure the white and green connect properly.

Thanks! I used a twisted heavy duty extension and ran it today. Seemed to be showing nearly exact temps as no extension.

Time to fly!
