Remote Glo Plug Clips

[Chris Moon]

Bob:
    What I do is wrap the wire several times around the clip and solder 
it, then either shrink tube or electrical tape the connection for an 
inch or so down the wire.  That provides some strain relief to the 
solder joint.  To be honest, I don't know what the life span will be of 
that joint, since I have not had one fail in 300+ flights last yr.  Now 
of course, thats on an OS 140 2-stroke, so the YS paint mixers might 
give it a shorter life......don't know.  Oops did I slip in a derogitory 
comment???
