I'm with the school that says if we can only have
it one way, then end plugs are the way, hands
down. I'm somewhat bummed to learn that the M5 is
not this way.
I build things with the RX often in the wing, or
in a VERY small pod, and here, a little length due
to the added connectors is almost always better
than dealing with the usual doubling in height
with vertical connectors.
I agree that a connector design that was only as
long as the pins themselves (or a smidge
longer)would solve this problem, but would only be
a solution IF one was willing to replace all one's
servo connectors, OR if manufacturers of servos
adopted such a connector universally.

Subject: [RCSE] FMA M5 Survey
I just received two FMA M5 receivers
and I must admit they are real gems.
But, I have a question for you out
there in soaring land. It seems to me
that having end plugs for the five
channels would have made much more sense.
I also felt the same thing about the
FMA Extreme.
I wrote the company a letter regarding
my preference for end plugs and was
surprised when they told me that they
were not hearing this from their
customers.
Well, you are there customers. Is it
just me, or if you had a choice would
you prefer to have end plugs for a
small receiver designed to go into tight
places?
I'll tally up your votes and send it to
Fred and his son to see if they
might consider changing the plug configuration.
Bring on the votes.
