Thanks Richard. That looks like a nice connector but maybe a little large
and heavy for my application. The plane will have a total weight of about
4.5kg. The total weight budget for the airframe and payload is less than 2kg
on a 2m wingspan plane. That means every gram counts (or oz if you're
American). The total assembly there is 18cm long which is about 17cm longer
than the Deans plugs. That's going to be a size and weight issue for me.
Thanks for the pointer though.

Cheers,
Zik
