My dad left me a ton of soldering kit...wouldn't belive how much solder i own!! 1 box has 20+ 500g reels!! 60/40...shame he stopped sure he would have got reflow center.

Well i've got some 0.191 wire so should be go to rewind 2.9g

Let's hope I don't need to remove the tail motor!

Here is my soldering station, hardly cheap though Use it for tinkering around with electronics. I also have about 20W iron aswell.

Antistatic Soldering Station RX-711 AS


Quite like the look of those digital calipers, will have to get me a set of those.

I've got one of those alu cantilever cases for tools and parts. B&Q sell the same ones.

I got one of those about a year ago - at £9.99. It seems this model is regularly marked down for special sale. It is OK and great value, but whenever possible I prefer to use my Antec 25 watt iron. I only use the Maplin 50 watt jobbie for big lipos DEANs connections.

Picked up a soldering iron (two actually) and a flight box.
Well chuffed, the soldering iron can be turned off and on form the base and heats real quick, and the flight box is fantastic value, going to send the missus in for another one tomorrow if they are open, great value.

This is it
