Lighting Connections (1.5)

1.5 hours

I got a bunch of stuff in the mail, including my wingtip lights from Aircraft Spruce, and a bunch of Molex connectors from Digi Key.

It's been a while since I messed with connectors like these, but after a little trial and error I pretty much figured out how to crimp the pins onto the wires.  I used a 4-wire connector for the wingtip light, and a 2-wire connector for the landing light.  I think once I install the wing on the fuselage I'll run both cables into a 6-wire connector, so I only have one electrical connection per wing whenever I need to remove and install the wings in the future.
