Default Wiring a Sailplane

In my experience (and of others I know), these Winter pneumatic connectors
have a tendency to leak after a few years. I use standard inline
connectors along with short pieces of tubing which get replaced every time
I remove an instrument or the entire panel. Nearly as easy, and no
problem with leaks...

I use a short length of silicone rubber tubing (available at McMaster-Carr)
to connect to the instruments. Silicone rubber retains its elasticity,
resists ozone and weathering, so doesn't leak. It's also easy to get on and
off.
