The dynon instructions call for a 4-conductor shielded cable from the panel to the remote compass. I'm planning to put the compass box in the wing, but would like to have a connector at the wing root to facilitate wing removal. What is the best type of connector to use in that case?

I am building a Van's RV-12 that has a Dynon D-180 with a remote compass located in the tail.  The Van's supplied cable is not shielded.  Instead, individual wires are twisted together.  Since shielding is optional, I would not be too concerned about making a splice at the wing root.  This application is not critical like a coax carrying a radio frequency.  Any type of connector should work, like a D-Sub or even a 4 pin automotive trailer hitch connector.  Since Dynon uses a D-Sub on each end, that would be good choice for the splice.

    If the area is expected to stay DRY, then

    a machined-pin, D-sub is fine.
