I use a very small screwdriver to push down the locking tab in the connector, then pull the connector out of the plastic holder. Fold the wire back and then tape it. That way you can always return it to normal when you use the ESC for something else.

Do it now, you may never get another chance

well i can do a little bit more for now, but it will have to stop very soon as i have no funds to buy the wire needed to finish of the motors.
going to bend up some fixed main u/c legs and fit them today (just not enough room for retracts and more servo's and no money to buy them anyway)

will go back to the Lancasters as i don't need any money for that one at the moment.

trying to sort the wing to fuselage fairing today, needs to stay with the wing as it comes off for storage.
fiddly, stressful and time consuming.

been trying all day to fit retracts, there just is not enough room without a full redesign of the wing and nacelles, so fixed u/c it will have to be.

the main leg will be braced back to the second wing spar with a wire brace to help strengthen it to cope with landings.
