2203 2300kv. Will resolder the motors and figure out the video stuff, as I need to find a way to stuff it all inside the top part.

Software as in Cleanflight, that's all there is for software except for BLheli suite right? What do you mean by looks the shiz?

AETR works properly, I use mode 2. Servo pins don't fit so I directly soldered the cables to the holes. I use a FlySky FS-I6X with FS-A8S receiver.

Sorry for my late reply, I've been busy with work and I went on vacation. Received a new soldering iron from the store; this one actually works. Everyting except for the video stuff has been soldered and works now. The only stupid thing is that I got the motors wrong and put the wrong motor ESC...

If the solder would actually stick.... :/

I agree that you shouldn't save money on tools, but I only use the soldering iron for this purpose, as soon as this drone is together I'll probably never use it again. Can't really afford to pay €100 for a good soldering iron, I'm already €150 over budget because of extra costs from customs and...

They're 30W. One is new, the other is old, of a friend. No idea why but after an hour of soldering the new one doesn't even stick anymore. The solder doesn't stick to the tip. I clean it with a sponge and it doesn't get any better, so I assume the tip is bad. Returning to the store as soon as I...

Tried that too, it doesn't work. Is the soldering iron broken or something?

Solder descriptions are: "Used for electronics, 60/40 tin/lead solder with flux".

So, the solder is the wrong solder but the iron is all right? The tip looks bad in my opinion, even after only soldering the PDB and motors. Edit: seems like pictures fell off. Here's a link: http://imgur.com/a/VfwiZ

UAVfutures and others recommended 60/40. I don't think 63/37 or 60/40 would make a difference. I also can't wait another 2 weeks for other solder to arrive.

Here are some pictures of my soldering iron. I have two of them, and I have the issue with both. I cleaned the tips but it doesn't really get shiny. One of the soldering irons is brand new, I bought it last week. What's wrong with these? Why is the solder falling off? http://imgur.com/a/VfwiZ

I did. My solder falls off the soldering iron and it causes a lot of trouble. I can't even tin the iron because the solder falls off. Trying to solder wires together, but it's impossible. I know how it works, I've done it before and I've seen tons of videos. Why does it not work? I don't think...

I don't have all that stuff. I tried desoldering it but some of it remains. My multimeter doesn't beep when I connect the two probes, I suppose it's fine?
