Tools for the field

[theGreenOrange]

My new tools came in, they are nice. Also, if you guys don't have a butane soldering iron, they are awesome for field repairs.

I'm waiting for mine to show up as well.
What kind of iron is that one (as well as your home bench iron)
I'm looking into a new iron for home and want a decent one.

Thank's

That is one I got from Radio shack about 10 years ago, still works great. My bench iron is an old piece of crap I got about 20 years ago but it works fine. If I was getting a new iron for the bench today I would probably get this one:

You could get a cheap one and probably never have any problems. The only place you need a decent iron for is the ground pads on the PDB.

Nice..So a iron in the 40watt range is good then?
$40.00 is not a bad price for a weller

 

[theGreenOrange]

Yeah, should be enough. You might also look at their professional line which is temperature controlled. They have one without a station that costs only a little more.

has anyone had issues with getfpv and the orders being wrong?

 

[theGreenOrange]

No but I only ordered once and it was one item. What happened?

 

[Reaper71]

I ordered 7 sets of the DAL 5045 bullnose props and they sent me 7 sets of the HQ standard props

 

[Reaper71]

I sent an Email to them,waiting for an answer as to why the mixup and a solution

 

[theGreenOrange]

Annoying, but I'm sure they will make it right.

I hope so, just getting started in all this so would like a positive experience
