Solder Tip

[JERRY2KONE]

I use lead free solder and have never had a problem with using it on any of my R/C stuff. You have to make sure you are using the right solder for soldering electronics. I have one of the Hako 969 machines and as long as you have the right amount of heat everything solders up nicely. I also use flux solering paste on every piece, which cleans up the metals and helps the solder to flow evenly. Tinning is very important, and in the final stages of soldering both pieces have to be heated up evenly and then cooled so that nothing pulls apart. I have not had a solder joint fail on me yet.
