B-25 Mitchell - Wing Servo Connectors - 3DLabPrint

Wireless plug in wings.
These utilize 2.54mm JST-XHP sockets/headers and male/female crimped connectors.
These were designed and implemented BEFORE the Inner wings were assembled to the gondolas.
You could retrofit them to an assembled plane, but you'd need a template...."on a stick," a steady set of hands when gluing, and a long magnetic screwdriver.
Each Inner and Outer wing port consists of a Mounting Ring and a Plug Plate.
An Install Template is screwed to the corresponding Mounting Ring, and with CA applied 5mm down inside the wing tube, the assembly gets pressed into the wing tube.
The Template is positioned flat against and all the way to the Front of the wing tube.
Once the glue is dry, the Template is unscrewed and is replaced by the Plug Plate. The Template can then be discarded/recycled.
A Filler Plate is used on each Outer wing behind the Plug Plate, to retain the XHP connector and allow for easy repairs if necessary. It is NOT glued in.
To keep it from being pulled out when the Outer Wing is removed, I recommend that you cut away the little locking tabs in the slots of the Inner Wing connector, and apply hot glue to the wires and base of the connector,
The connections to the XHP base connector in the Inner Wings are the Female pins that came with the JST-XHP kit. They are crimped, pressed onto the pins, soldered, then heatshrunk.
The connections in the Outer Wings are the same Female pins from the XHP kit as used on the back of the Inner Wing connector wiring.
The additional is just standard servo connectors.
