A quick word on crimping.  For aircraft, be sure to use the
higher-quality dual-crimp terminals, such as the AMP PIDG (Pre-Insulated
Diamond Grip).  These connectors grip the wire conductor, and the
insulator for stability.  The terminals from Radio Shack, Trak Auto,
etc.  only grip the conductor.  You can try to grip the insulator with
the plastic portion, but it won't hold like a true dual-crimp terminal.
