They send you this drawing and you have to fill in the blanks.

Inside the cowl, the headers are a different ball game when you're running a four cylinder engine, there's a lot more dementions to consider. Not many places to get them. These are costume made. I got these from Zimmermann in Germany.

The foam wire keeps have their own peel and stick adhesive but I add a bit of CA, never had a wire come loose.
I get them from Thunderbolt RC.

this bird of mine spilled its guts one fine day

more entrails spilling out. OK, cause once they are all neatly inside, can't really photograph them

A quick note regarding the MAP Tidy Strips...

If you are using servos with twisted wire leads, the airline tidy strips work well with them.

Thanks for the link Paul, exactly the kind of stuff I was hoping to see in this thread. I will have to order some of those clips, would be nice to have for the next plane I put together.

I think a lot of people who have trouble with radio signal losses is first inadequate power supply, and second, random masses of spaghetti that can bounce around causing random EMI etc. This is a work in progress. Everything will be neatly run and tied down. Also don't want wires able to bounce around and rub on corners etc. with gas engine. All antennae will be separated from other components as far as possible.
