STI Farm Fox Build Log

For what little it might be worth, I'll add that I don't use 22g wire - for handling and strength issues. E.g., tougher to remove the insulation without nicking at least one strand, tougher to solder and not over solder, etc. It is probably just me (may be age related ) but I don't get along well with 22g.

I don't think 20ga wire will fit in the crimp pins for the DB connector, so be careful what you pick for wire.

I have already used the 22 gauge to wire the 2 autopilot servos so I could finish the covering. I notice the Vp-x I'm using for power only uses 20 gauge for min size wires. It shows 20 gauge for 5 amps. So I'm not running trim through the servos so I will be fine. Thanks Guys.

Glad to get the covering finished up this evening. I will do the landing gear at some point probably but its so good to be 99% covered!

Followed the directions on Oratex finishing tapes on doing the razor back by removing the glue off the tape and reapplying a 1/4'' glue strip on both sides and shrinking the middle. I would have bet against it when I got it first mounted but it came out fine. Glad to have the finishing tapes done..
