[RCSE] Source for wire harness mtls
I'm a bit frustrated with the cost of wiring components via the local dealer. I can appreciate the cost involved in a slow moving inventory...but $6 for a 6 inch servo extension... I'd like to make my own wiring harnesses. Is there a good source for bulk connectors and the proper wire? Also, does it require a special crimper or can they be effectively soldered? Thanks Martin btw-I do try to patronize local people for obvious reasons. As self indulgent as this hobby is, I need to make best efforts to control the costs RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Try Dymond out of Oshkosh. He has pigtails, raw connectors and extensions. The extensions seem to be the better deal, cut 'em in half = 2 pigtails. Much easier to solder the wire sections than to diddle around with the connector pins. They are on the net at http://rc-dymond.com/ Be careful with the solder. If this is for a sailplane or electric it won't matter much, but too much solder will cause solder to flow in the strands past the connector. This will make it brittle and much more likely to fatigue at that point. Absolutely a disaster in waiting for a power plane. I know what you mean about controlling costs, but it seems to work in a negative fashion, sorta like Sam's. Yeah it's x% cheaper but you have to buy 20x to get the price. I like having a stash ready and waiting, so bulk isn't a problem.

The connectors and cable sold by Dymond are very well priced. The connectors appear to be the same as those offered by Custom Electronics. I have used connectors from both sources successfully.
