Hi   

   

I am in the process of planning my wiring and have a couple of questions for the list.  

   

First, I am planning on using Infinity stick grips. When wiring these grips through the control stick tube, how does one protect the wires from undue stress when the control stick is moved?   

   

Are there any rules of thumb that can be used when deciding what sizes of shrink wrap to be used in an applications – in particular what arte the most common sizes that are used. I would like to order some from ACS but have no idea as to quantities and sizes I should get.  

   

Lastly, what is the difference between a 4 indent and a 8 indent D-Sub crimper? Which is preferable?  

   

Inquiring minds need to know….

I used the Case Mod  sleeving on my stick grip wires. Also used it on several other cables on  the plane - like wing connections. One kit pretty much took care of everything I  needed. It has several sizes. It is tough stuff. You cut (melt) it with a  soldering iron and put heat shrink on the ends (some heat shrink comes with the  kit). Here is the link:

Hi John  

   

Thanks for the info. Now that I know what to look for, I was able to find it locally.  

   

Cheers
