If you were monitoring the AeroElectric-List you would have learned that
crimped Faston-type connections are the best way to go for permanent
air-tight connections for our airplanes. Forget solder and avoid those
screw terminal strips supplied by Europa.

Subject: Europa-List: Wiring connectors
--> <tonyrenshaw268@gmail.com>
Giddy, I am in LA and figure I might as well give Aircraft Spruce some of my
hard earned dollars. I am thinking of buying a 1000' spool of AWG 20 wire
and am after advice whether the spade crimp styled connectors are ok for
permanent conx? I am not good with electrons. They think like my wife, often
changing their minds with unpredictable outcomes. I don't enjoy them,
electrons. I can barely tolerate the wife either, but she does let me build
my plane so I suppose I should cut her some slack. So, within the Spruce
range as I am "Johnny on the spot", is there a simple type of connector such
as AMP or is there a better type, dimple or no dimple etc? Any help would be
appreciated.
P.S if anyone has anything bad to say about a SIRS Navigator Compass let me
know as I am planning on getting one of those too.
