Wire harness Molex connector help

[bkervaski]

There's a few places we didn't use the stock routing guidelines, the control stick area was one of them.

The biggest things (in my humble opinion):

* Be sure there are no opportunities for chafing or snagging on a moving part
* The wires are secure but loose and not taut as the airframe will move and bend
* Adequate connectors (i.e., water resistant if necessary in that area)
* Service loops

Beyond that just route the wires where it makes sense to your build keeping in mind you may need to service it later.

By the way, I believe that SteinAir makes those harnesses for Vans.

I am using D-subs on most connections except higher amps. Those will be the heavier Molex. I plug them in and lash the two halves. Saves a bunch of weight from all the civers and screws.

Call Stein and ask what connectors he recommends.

Plus one for this recommendation and this is what I did. Very happy with my decision. You can source the little connectors that are used for the trim server digi-key as well as the pins but they are not that easy to work with. Push the pins with pin pusher for better success.
