You don't need "good soldering skills", if you use crimp on

Consider a seperate power source (9 V battery) for your gear warning.

I agree that good crip connections (done with the correct ratcheting
crimper) are preferable to solder. But I'll disagree on the 9V battery
idea. The OP should consider using the capability of the C302 he has
in his ship, its U/C and spoiler warnings are worth using and a
separate 9V battery is just yet another thing to fail, go flat, leak
etc (I've fished out rotten old leaking 9V batteries from club ship's
vario backups etc.). If you main ships battery does not provide
reliable power that is a separate problem that should be fixed.

To the O.P. ... Regardless of what wire and terminations etc. you use
the most important stuff is just a good sense of workmanship and basic
electrical and glider practical sense, and not doing something bad
that could cause serious problems (electrical short, jammed controls,
etc.). As with many of these threads I'd hate to think of people doing
much work on their glider based on Q&A on r.a.s. It may be worth
finding somebody who, maybe another owner, or a glider A&P and have
them help with advice and maybe supervise you. And in the case of an
A&P maybe sign off your work if needed.

There are also old threads on r.a.s that address glider wiring you can
search for them.
