Some of you out there may have some of their products (or know someone who does) and wish to get out of an un-supported technology and into something more reliable such as a Grand Rapids or Dynon system. I have a offer for you... I would like to purchase a limited number of specific units: - EFIS/Lite Plus - BMA Engine Pod These are the only units being pursued at this time. They must be in good operational condition - used units will be considered. Please send me the specifics regarding your unit for evaluation. I'll need specific model number, serial number for each item along with a brief history of use or installation.

Here's a low cost, "compact" solution that's been used on Ray-Allen trim actuators for a number of years. http://aeroelectric.com/articles/macservo/macservo.html You can get the solder connectors depicted in the comic book from Radio Shack . . . http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102866 http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102498 If you have access to the machined crimps pins separately, they can be used with locally acquired housings . . . http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103806 http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103805 Shells for the crimped on connectors are http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102866 If you don't need the miniaturized connectors depicted in the comic book, you can leave the connectors un-modified and use the same shells on that process as well. I don't recommend using open barrel crimp pins supplied by Radio Shack. They're okay if you're skilled in the use of the right tool to assemble them but I personally avoid them in favor of machined pins and assembly processed described in these pictures . . . http://www.aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Connectors/D-Subminature/ using this (or an equivalent) tool . . . http://aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Tools/Crimp_Tools/rct-3.jpg I can supply a kit of shells, connectors and 20AWG crimp pins for $14.00 plus first class mail of about $1.50. If you want the kit, put an order in at . . . https://matronics.com/aeroelectric/Catalog/AECcatalog.html and enter "Mated pair D9 Connectors, pins and hoods @ 14.00" in the comments box at bottom of the page. Finally, there are multiple sources for suitable materials and tools cited by others in this thread.

It's not really a contact adhesive as I know it but it's the same stuff Bob refers to. Perfect adhesive for this kind of encapsulation and a nice addition to the adhesive shelf. If you take the machined pin D-sub approach, you may find the crimping process works best if you double over the #24/26 wires used on the the MAC servos. They are really thin wires. Bob led me to the doubling over solution some months back. Seems to make the crimp more reliable. Thanks again Bob. Robert L.
