<DIV>In the old times I did this by opening the servo and re-soldering after adjusting the length of the servo lead. I am not sure about doing this in modern servos. Probably is still viable.</DIV>

After a few years of trying the self-crimp method, I found that I was never able to get the same quality as the factory automated crimpers used by the oem's. Especially on connectors that are repeatedly removed, like ailerons. <BR><BR>
