I must learn to crimp

I'm getting ready for winter projects. I'm learning and tooling up on 
cable technology. I want to be able to fabricate my own cable harnesses 
and crimp on my own connections for the drones I'm working on. There are 
a lot of electronics in these flying beasties! BTW it occurred to me 
that I had an unknown crimp tool for 40 years, which I got from a 
friends estate. I researched the connector name for a RC servo 
connector, which is a Molex "F" type. I dug up (almost literally) the 
old tool and sure enough it had "F" stamped on it! Well I'll be playing 
with it, making scrap at first of course, but eventually getting it 
down. The attached site has some good info on crimping and is targeted 
towards drone wiring. There is also a link to the FPV forum's crimp threads.
