Default servo motor connection

I was wondering what is the best plugs to use for the wiring on the servo motors and where to get them. It seems like it would be better to have a plug in to be able to remove the motor if it has problems.

Default D-sub pins and sockets

We used D-sub crimped pins and sockets from SteinAir http://www.steinair.com/connectors.htm because of the small space and ditto wires. More pics on http://websites.expercraft.com/PHVII...y&log_id=11115 These pins normally go inside a D-sub connector but can also be used individually with some heatshrink insulation. Don't forget to buy a good crimping tool.

Default Radio Shack

Pick up some DB9 connectors from your local vendor.
