Aha! Right I've bought one of those and I've decided to put the female connector in the aft section between the rear landing gear where there's space for the wires etc. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to model the viper as on the deck or in flight. On the deck makes connecting the electronics easier but I'll have to make sure there are no light-leaks from the undercarriage. In flight is more complicated as i have to use a rod to balance the ship on.

One last question: I'm going to connect 6 LEDs to three AA batteries at 1.5 volts each. Do you think that using resistors is necessary? I'm not sure if three AAs is going to be enough to get decent brightness out of the bulbs. Need to think about that one. Sorry - you probably get this kind of question a lot on these forums!

Thanks for the help Grendels. I'm really excited to get going on this!
