Default Servo wire runs.

I am ready to run the wires from the servos to the back of the panel and not sure of the best way. Could I please get some ideas on how others have done this.

Thanks Dannie

I used Deans plugs from the local R/C model store to hook up the wiring at the servo pigtails.

The connectors were modified to make a two pin non polarized unit, and a three pin polarized one.









I used the three pin unit for the feedback pot, and the two pin for the motor----would allow me to reverse the motor direction if needed without having to cut into existing wiring.



Finally after run tests to make sure it was all correct, I tied the two halves of the connector together with lacing cord, and mounted the connectors to the airframe with a zip tie.



The wiring runs forward along the side panel, to the junction block under my seat where it is hooked up to the control stick grip switches.
