Hi, the black wire is "electrician wire", small size tape that is normally made to secure plugs in wall of houses, you can find it everywhere, it s not a hobby tape or something dedicated.
I just made circles around the cables to have it protected.

This may sound crazy, but we may not have it in the U.S. at least not as readily available as you do. Can you send me a link to an example of it? I can't find it on google.

Thanks,

David

http://www.confort-electrique.fr/sco...rs-p-3238.html
of course it is french, but the cost is ridiculous for lots of meter (and you pick the color)

In the US i found that : http://www.duct-tape.com/ take a look and let us know

Cheers

Romain

No, I was looking near the top of the frame. It looks like your servo wires are wrapped in something or routed through something.

It's wire braid. You can find it at ReadyHeli under "Build Supplies" and at HeliDirect under something... Or you can buy it direct at a much lower cost from a bulk supplier: HERE, for example.

That's what I was thinking it might be. Yup, Turnigy/MKS... if the model numbers match they are probably MKS... they even have brushless cyclics rebadged at $80..... and some 12V servos!!?

Hi Brian,

where did you buy this servo, because at HK they are marked almost 68$.

Grtz,
Dirk
