Servo pins pulled out of connector body</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Servo city sells the pins and the connectors for 75 cents to
like 2 bucks depending on which ones you want. The crimpers will probably cost
you 25 bucks. they are a w crimp. you do not want to use regular crimpers.
After you crimp them you will want to solder also. use the smallest diameter
solder you can find. you just need a tiny tiny amount. you won't be able to
use heat shrink due to the heat shrink not fitting in the
connector.<BR><BR><B><I>paul <paul.horan@sbcglobal.net></I></B> wrote:

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have not pulled the servos
apart to check the gears. The reason I think they are ok is that when
the plane went in the engine was dead, the speed was fairly low, the the
smaller branches of the tree furthe! r reduced the speed and finally the
plane hit a fork that cleanly stripped the wings away. The servos,
ailerons, linkage all looked good. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The soldering trick works fine, as long as
you don't get a cold joint. I try to avoid it only because the area
near where the solder stops wicking into the wire tends to be a point of
stress concentration for the wire strands, but as long as you extend the
heat shrink about 1/4" past the point where the wire gets 'bendy' again,
it supports it and prevents the work hardening of the wire from becoming a
problem. I might be a bit nervous about those servos though - how do
the gears look? I've had incidents where just a tiny sliver of a
gear tooth was chipped away and lead to further problems.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Sounds like I can either
get the kit and crimper from Maxx or cut the connector ends off defunct
servos / extentions and solder them to the existing servo wires - using
heat shrink to keep any flexing away from the solder joints. Any
preference ?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Better off to replace the entire
connector and pins. Most likely the plastic housing was damaged
from the pin pulling out. Also, the! wire had to get strained
where it is clasped by the crimp pins. Maxx Products sells
connector kits, but you need a crimper tool. </FONT></DIV>
