Auto-mating D-connectors
The Problem
The servo leads in your F3F ship are a pain to connect up. Especially when your hands are cold and it's blowing a gale...
No more flying leads
Construct a housing for the D-connector so it mates automatically when the wing is bolted in place.
Step 1: Cut some lugs and posts from wood and g/f circuit board.
Step 2: Epoxy lugs to posts.
Step 3: Drill lugs, then bolt D-Connector to lugs.
Step 4: Trial fit with male connector plugged in, and mark posts where male connector is flush with wing seat..
Step 5: Cut off excess from posts, epoxy in place and when cured file flush with wing seat. Note hardwood infill.
Step 6: The male connector is simply taped in place under the wing.
And that's it.
