Very Good suggestions. And while you are at it, be prepared to spend
some serious $$ on the proper tools. I use nothing but AMP PIDG
connectors crimped by a genuine APF PIDG Crimp tool. My tefzel wire
is stripped using the correct mil spec stripper( Ideal Industries
Custom Stripmaster(R) Wire Stripper 16-26 AWG wire Item ID:45-1987http://www.idealindustries.com). Probably near $300 worth of tools
there. Ideally, leave your soldering iron at home.


Oh, come on. Do you really think that the low temperature (compared
to near a running engine) and low vibration environment of a glider
requires such expensive connections ?
