[NSRCA-discussion] What is the difference between JST-XH/GP/PQ balance plugs

[Scott McHarg]

Being at work, I think I made a mistake.  I think the GP (Great Planes) is
the JST.  TP is for Thunder Power, PQ (Polyquest) and then KO (Koyosho).  I
don't think I've ever used the KO but have used the other 3.  Sorry for the
confusion.
