Taping servo cords

It is essential to tape the servo connectors and extension cords, they will vibrate loose otherwise. Once I did a recheck of all wires and I found that I taped the WRONG side of the connector to the gyro. I'm really lucky that my heli did not come down badly. With some connectors this is better visible, but with these futaba connectors it seems impossible to see which side is the connector-side once connected.. Check before you tape!



Unconnected cable ends Connected, it is impossible to see where is the connection
