Title: Arming plug
Post by: Glen Meador on December 10, 2024, 07:33:34 AM

What is everybody using for an arming plug setup on the side of a built up electric model?

I soldered up an XT-60 type plug.  I found it a little more compact on the inside than the more popular Deans type.  I could probably reduce the size of the wire loop and use a heat shrink end cap to cover the exposed ends.

I have used this type of arming plug an all of my models.  It works great.  However i hang the plug on a piece of spider wire flight line so that it doesn't get lost.

This looks nice.

Sometimes I see fliers using a bullet connector as their arming plug. I am curious of anyone that is using that can show how they mount the connector on the inside of the fuse?
