hi all - i'm at the point where i'm working on the wing connectors and need to crimp the ES-00079 floating connector. What the heck do I do that with? A google search came up with zilch....

Have a real part number and manufacturer, or a photo?

Working on my wing kit now and will be terminating those within the next week or so. I intend to use this:

It's what I used to terminate the MOLEX pins for the trim servo connector too - they were just a lot smaller.

Van’s suggestion for a crimping tool can be found on page 24 of section 5;

Excellent crimpers

Here?s the crimpers I?ve used for everything molex, even the straight-from-china Hilitchi molex-copies. It?s a low priced, very accurate tool that ratchets nicely. IWISS makes good stuff.
