I was wondering instead having my servo wires dangling everywhere, is there good way to neaten them up? My futaba servos came with really short leads and the only extension i could use ended up being a little to long. Ive stuffed them as much as i can through the servo lead hole i made but still have to have it dangle a little.
In the photo galllery there is a picture of an edge that looks to have some sort of wire hangers on the side of the fuse to neatly tuck the wires onto. Any suggestions?
Anyway.. My yak is all complete and i cant wait to fly it. The local hobbyshop didn't have a 10x5 props so i picked up the 10x7 for the time being.

I use small zipties to control the mess of wires on many planes. Just fold the wires over till they are out of the way and zip them down with a couple ties. I'll try to take a pic of my yak when I get home to show you how I did it.

I had to add a servo extension also, but was able to tuck all the leftovers into the fuse. You shouldn't have to have much on the exterior of the plane, but if so, as mentioned the zip ties work. Or for something not quite so permanent, you can get small velcro straps at most electronics stores. They are about 1/2"x4".

Buy the kit and custom make your servo leads the exact length you need. No extensions, extra connectors and very neat.
