Good stuff indeed.

Now only last week I installed my Ray Allen elevator trim and attached the AWG24 to AWG22 using D-SUB PINS. One of the AWG 24 wires did indeed disconnect, and I incorrectly (thanks guys) assumed that I hadn't crimped it right. I redid it and gave all the pins tug. They stuck fast. Now I know I was lucky.

Next I joined up the MALE FEMALE D-SUB pins and covered each connection in heatshrink. Then I bundled the lot together and covered with a single larger piece of heat shrink.

I installed the trim assembly with the heatshrinked bundle poking through the bushing in the elevator spar. Nice job done (I thought).

Do I need to redo it?

If so, why? i.e. what are the realistic failure modes that the AWG24 side of the connections might contibute to, in this case, given that I tested each crimp and each one has two layers of heat shrink holding them together?
