Robinson Helicopters use crimps.
as long as a quality ratcheting crimper is used along with amp pidg terminals and splices . not the cheap vinyl insulated automotive crap . not very much soldering in any of the newer big jets . boeing tried to use wire wrapping like the phone companies use for terminal strip connections on the 747-400 . didn't work out so well and didn't catch on with anyone else .

Soldering #6 wires on a small plane like a KF is not so bad. For smaller wires crihis is common practice in the aviation and automotive industries.
