I soldered the 4 or 5 big wire terminals in my project and it all worked
very well per Bob's tutorial below. In particular, the stuffing of the
barrel with copper wedges was a key detail. Did mine with a 25 year
old Weller soldering gun.

Crimp tools for the larger terminals are
pretty pricey. Further, most airplanes will
need only a handful of large terminals. Consider
soldering un-insulated terminals and dressing
out with heat shrink. See:

Greetings,
I know crimp and then solder is frowned upon as unnecessary. I was
wondering if there was a problem with crimping with a whack-type, to
tighten up the strands in the terminal(instead of wedging) and then
soldering. Seems less fussy if you already have the beat-n-bash
crimper, or if you have several to do.

The problem with beat-n-bash crimpers is lack
of verification for having achieved a gas-tight
joint.

Without vetting the marriage of wire-to-terminal-to-tool,
the easiest way to maximize copper in the wire grip is
to stuff wire-wedges into the matrix and then fill all
voids with free-flow of an electronic grade 63/37 solder.
Works good, lasts a long time.
