I use a pair of electrical crimping pliers, never had one slip yet.

Like the ones for doing those dodgey auto connectors (red, blue and yellow connectors you buy at the servo)?

Howie gave me a great tip as I couldnt find an electricians crimping tool so he suggested vice grips to clamp and crimp. Worked a treat!!! (Thanks Howie)

Vice Grips work great for crimping. Used them everytime and never had one pull loose.

LOL, I thought you'd like that one.

I'll try and get some better stuff in the coming weeks. Been pretty windy of late and the suki doesn't like to hover in the wind, it's ok once in the groove but I find it hard to get it there when the wind is gusty. I'm starting to get comfortable with it now so I can start to bring it down a little lower.

Hey guys, do we have a dedicated trading post/sell swap forum for the down under folks?
I have been looking to buy something, but its a real drama to find any Auz content in the trading post. Every time I find what I'm looking for and get excited, its in the states so unobtainable.
Cheers, Wiz.
