How in the world do you fold a stab?

[MENTION=3]GYRO[/MENTION] , would you mind explaining this...

Jacob flies thousands of flights per year on his planes, and due to his gifted ability of airframe abuse, most planes don't survive very long with him. His EF 104" Extra lasted under 50 flights IIRC.

Laser is a go to plane. Flies like a big plane because it is big!

Landing was a little rough. Everything on video looks like it should have been a lot lower.
Turn down volume at 4:45 for scratching on mic.

Is it okay to coil servo wire around servo wire or is this a nono?

It's ok as I've never had any interference by doing that and a lot of us do just wrap it up nice and tight.

Anyone else have thoughts on the topic?

Thanks, I also texted my friend that's a mechanical engineer and he said it was okay too.

I always take the slack out of all the servo wires by folding them up "accordion style" and then use a small zip tie to hold them. So there is a bunch of wore all bunched up together. Never had a problem. So I would think coiling them would be about the same effect I would think. I never had a problem

You could cut and solder depending on your soldering confidence. That could be introducing three more fail points!

Man, you've really improved your game! We need to burn a few packs some time. I guess I'm going to try to get down there for Thursday night flying when they first that back up again.

I just ordered a yellow 60" Laser, so I'll be joining the party soon!
