What have y'all successfully used to connect MAC (sorry, Ray Allen) servo components?  I'm talking about connecting those little jewels with the 26 AWG wires sticking out of them to the 5-conductor wires that they also provide.  Them little wires are really tiny!

 

Rob,

 

I was able to solder and “shrink tube” these wires for the connections I thought would be pretty permanent, but it took some practice. For the rudder, elevator and other trim tabs that I thought I might need to remove from time to time, I used EN3 Weathertight Connectors from Mouser Electronics. These are good quality connectors and reasonably easy to use. They are available with crimp or solder pins; I used the crimp version as I have a very good crimper tool (also from Mouser) that I used for MANY pin crimps throughout the airplane—many of them were “Radio Shack” Sub D types, but I used the military type barrel crimp pins rather than those sold by Radio Shack…but I digress. The Mouser part number for one side of a 6-pin plug of the type I used is 502-EN3L6F. This should get you in the ballpark, but note that there are LOTS of options and combinations available. Glad to discuss off-line if you’d like.
