Just nearing completion on RV-12 empennage kit, including Imron paint. Only snag is crimping the tiny micro points on the 5 fine wires of the pitch servo. Need help or suggestion(s).
I recently completed the micro pin crimp utilizing this crimper set from Mouser Electronics www.mouser.com Part number 538-MXWM-72 . This has a nice crimper that can handle the micro pins and sockets plus it has 100 pins, 100 sockets and multiple male/female connectors in various capacities for quick disconnect installations. This kit comes with 0.062" diameter pins and there is a similar kit with 0.092" pins. It is reasonably priced and it is a few dollars more than a stand alone crimper but you will find other uses for it once you have finished the aircraft.

Depending on when you got your kit, the "RV-12 Manual " downloadable now on Van's website (the first several pages of the plans - Sections 1 through 5 - that cover things like crimping wires) now INCLUDES this info from this site.
