  • What to use to keep wiring tidy

    Starting a 600 LE flybarless build next week and wondered whats the best to keep the wiring tidy - braid or plastic wrap or what.
    Your views would be appreciated.
    Regards

    Braid/heatshrink rubbs against the wires and does more harm than good imo.

    Loom tape seems the best solution so far.

              With the loom tape I presume you just tape the wires to the frame?

                  Tape the wires, then tie wrap to the frame

                    braided wires look so much much better for a neat install, had my 600 braided for over a year now and no way it damages any wires as ive just checked.

                      Used both braid and the sprial wrap. Braid is neat, but can be fiddly to put on. Never had any problems with chaffing using it myself. I now use spiral wrap. Easy to put on and take off when the time comes.

                            I use braid.. much nicer imo.. Yes its fiddly at first but once you done a few its second nature.. If its done properly, I dont see why there should be any issues.. and I've never had any problems in my helis and I actually dont get how it could damage wires?
