Tony,
FWIW, I use crimp fast-on spade connectors as much as possible: switches,
relays,
etc. Crimp ring terminals for circuit breakers and when I have a switch with
screw attachments. Crimp pins & sockets in D-Sub connectors. And soldering
only when absolutely, positively necessary and there's no other alternative
available.
Dimple fast-on spade connectors probably more secure.
Nothing negative (or positive) to say about the SIRS Navigator Compass, just
make
sure you confirm that you get one for the Southern Hemisphere.

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.
