<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

<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.

<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 slive! r 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.

I strained my Meridian through a tree, wrecked the plane but the
equipment appears OK with the exception of both aileron
servos. When the wings came off the servo connector body
stayed in the fuse and the servos wires and pins went with the
wings.
</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> My question is : can I
simply re-insert the servo pins in another connector body (taken from
defuct servos or extentions) ?</FONT></DIV>
