Hi Honey,

In My Opinion (sorry  :oops: )

DB9, at Maplin, Peats etc etc. I use that as this is easier to solder for me (and my poor skills!), and the other advantage, is that you have enough room to double / triple the contacts, or even use a bigger plug, like the DB12, but that's really for big models, a bit OTT (Over The Top  :P ) for a small ish glider.
You can have DB9 with gold contacts too, but the MPX (Multiplex  :P ) green plugs are fine too, just a question of taste (and soldering habilities in my case!)

Happy Days:
Thanks Fred, I ‘take on board’ what you say about a larger connector being easier to work with.

The total space that the connector, (that is both halves of the connector joined) would have to sit in is 35mm x 40mm. Would a DB9 if in that little amount of space?

yeh, Fred is right here - you will need a "third hand" to solder those green connectors .
