Re: MultiWiiConf UI for Android Tablet PC

Yes you simply lift the tab with a needle or scalpel. gentle pull wire backwards (towards wires)
There is a small tab that might have to be adjusted to get it seated properly when you need to insert it again (like calibrating ESC endpoints)

No need to cut any wires - if you do it will be hard to program your ESC's afterwards.
Use a needle or similar to lift up the tab on the servo connector and pull it out backwards. secure the positive with some heatshrink tube and you are good to go.
