[NSRCA-discussion] securing servo wires

[Del K. Rykert]

Sure Lance..  the trick I use is to use 4 or 5 initial overlaps of the 
thread/string.  No not tying expert here but ask and will try to elaborate 
if I can.. But when you take the two ends of the line  and don't stop with 
just a singleover under but at least 3 more then snug it and it hold for me 
most times..
