The pin/socket retention tab that the plastic connector housing indexes against to keep the p/s in the housing is another potential failure point. The metal tab will break off eventually and allow the p/s to move out of the housing (unplug). This is especially true of aileron connectors that are handled a bunch. I use flexible CA to keep this from happening, just a little between the wire and the housing, it also acts as a strain relief by anchoring the wire insulation to the housing. I suggest not using non-flexible CA as there must be some movement between the p/s/housing for alignment and good contact.<BR>

While on this subject, those of us in a climate that promotes (profuse) sweating find that the aileron connectors will degrade from handling if not cleaned with a contact cleaner occasionally.<BR>
