Finished the Valiant! Going flying Monday for the first time in 3 years. All the excitement of my first solo, 35 years ago. Pics and a brief review coming later today.
Yippee! What the postman brought

Was sleepy surfing the other night and came across a post for these little beauties.
$10 for 30 clips, which should last me a while.
Great fit, and better design than the ones I have been using previously.

I've been switching to heat shrink. I dont like how most of the servo lead clips can rub against the wires. If I cannot use a heat gun, I'll use those exact clips.

What have you found about the clips. Do they damage the wire , would like to know if I am doing something wrong.

They are fine. I've never had a failure due to one. Just noticed the plastic rubbing into the insulation a couple times - heat shrink wont do that, or ever come off, and is thin enough without sharp edges to slip inside snakeskin looming easier. So it's personal preference.

Clips are a bit of a pain to slip inside the snakeskin, but I typically put a piece of painters tape around the clip to avoid snagging the skin.
Primary place I’m using clips is at each wing servo connection on the Python.
Was using a box and tie wrap over the connection, but decided to try this different style.
Haven’t found a good method of mounting solid connectors for the lower wings, but I’m still studying that one.

I agree with you about snakeskin the only thing I do differently is i also take off the servo wire connector then connect the pins and heat- shrink the wires. And it is easy to put all back to how it was if needed.
