Hi All,
Just ordered a Rebel Hot so am starting to think about the install.
I've always thought about trying some plug in wing connectors. Something similar to maybe the Emcotec PWC4.
Up till now I've always used Ashlock connectors.
What do you all think.. too much weight and mucking around or worth a go ?
Has anyone installed connectors succesfully on their Hot? If so would you mind sharing some pics etc?

Thanks for all the connector comments and pics.
The digikey connectors do look good.
Dave makes a good point about the wings being left on alot of the time.
Maybe I will just go with the Ashlock style again.. Hopefully I can post some pics of what I end up using.
Edit - Have ordered some of the molex connectors as in cbk07's post.

DescriptionThis fuel tank set fits the Rebel HOT perfectly, it has 1.8 l capacity and allows safe 7-8 minutes of flight plus a lot of extra margin. It includes our standard hopper tank, which is small, light weight and proven by the thousands. This complete set is a perfect fuel system for your Rebel Hot! The plywood mounts shown on the photos are included with the airplane kit!

There are several setup photos in this thread.
#817 Dave Wilshere is a brilliant builder, and he is using an iGyro, but I think a Cortex Pro will fit the same spot.
#775 BoomerSooner does a really nice platform for all the equipment. Looks neat and should be easy to maintain
#757 Bob-B is the lightweight builder king, he goes low and simple. Also looks easy to maintain.
I built a tray for the top of the opening. It works but is miserable to maintain. If I got to get to the tank I got to take it all apart. It was my 1st turbine build and I copied others - but I should have copied Bob_B.
I like the Cortex Pro and it works really well with this model.

I've just pushed the button on a Carf Rebel hot (Orange launch scheme) with thrust tube, jp gear and tank.... I've also opted for the k70g4+, powerbox pioneer, isat, mcgreggor 2810 servos, powerbox 26d rx's, MAP uat...
....excited to start building it.

Final steps of my build are underway.... is there a definitive cg position, I've seen posts here of front middle and rear of wing tube? And is that set with any fuel in the main tank or just uat full?
Thanks
Andy
