Edgeflyer Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I have a 2 m glider with centre section and 2 wing tips which have the ailerons and are unplugged for transport. I want to wire the servos to plugs and sockets that mate when the wing tips are plugged in. I am considering 6 pin multiplex plugs but not sure if my wing tip root ribs are thick enough to contain them. Any other suggestions for suitable plugs and sockets?

Edgeflyer Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thank you for your experience Ikura, I have decided to follow your advice and stick with normal plugs. I have found a cf tube that exactly allows the female socket to slide inside when the wings join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Mick Reeves Models sell a servo plug holder kit that I have used on occasion that holds the female half of the plug. It's illustrated about half way down this page they may be of interest to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Satinet Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 4 pin deans connector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Gorham_ Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 If your wing roots are too thin to hold a "pluggable" connector then you could consider Ashlok or Maxlok type connectors available in 1, 2 3 or 4 way versions here: **LINK** or here: **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgeflyer Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hmm interesting ideas thanks. I'll keep these in mind for the next project. I can't find 4 pin deans in this country. Any ideas for a supplier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
