Default Re: EQ6

Bob is correct, in that you want to keep the number of connectors going to a servo to a min. I mean you bought the SF for one of the benefits of having all the available power from the batteries to go to the servos, by adding connectors in the circuit it is kind of defeating that benefit.
On all my servos circuits, I do not have to connect and disconnect on a regular basis, I only have the one extension going to the servo (even that I am looking at taking that connection out and just soldering the wires together). The only place that I have 2 extensions going to a servo is for the ailerons, and that is because of the repeated connecting and disconnecting of that circuit. So it looks like this for that circuit, servo wire to an extension with the connector extending past the wing by about 2". From there an extension starting aprox 4" from the fuse going to the SF. This allows me enough wire sticking out that I can connect/disconnect them while installing the wings. In my Ultimate, I actually have 3 extensions for the upper ailerons so I am seriously looking at soldering at least one connection/extension. The SF can probally handle the repeated connecting and disconnecting, but to me it is cheaper to replace a connector on an extension than the Eq6. Plus by having the short extension it allows the connection for the ailerons outside of the plane.

Thanks for all the replys, right now I don't have any extentions.
I cut the lead from the servo and splliced in a piece of solicone 22AWG wire to make the lead so it will plug directly into the EQ6 but I didn't like the idea of pluging straight into the EQ6 every time I put the wings on and off.
Sooooooo I have ordered a set of the Aslocks that Oilsands recommended to make a short jumper from the EQ6 to the servo leads.
