EDIT: Posted while very annoyed, so read with this in mind hahaha This made me REALLY mad at how the stupidest of people are so common, I was almost to the point of yell at my monitor. Could it be true that people are so stupid? The only guy in here that had ANY, ANY sense has never owned a...

Looks like a good build, have you crashed it yet.

Hahaha, plenty of people here to help. What do you need in particular? How to wire it?

Yes, I honestly keep my irons about the same temp unless I am using eutectic on something really heat sensitive. Generally if you have a higher heat you can get on and off a joint faster leaving a smaller HAL. I do like the ability to adjust heat even if I don't use it.

That is for small circuit soldering like PCB, but I you probably want something at least 45w+.

Here are some pictures of it after I broke it down, the 1000 hours is collectively on my equipment, and this only had about 300 hours on it. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwEFxtFiACWxfjQzX0FreUxyNmlnRkxLaEp6ZE5xNWc5Y2xSZEEwLU05WEZEeW95NktXTEU&usp=sharing Here is the link, I...

Well if you are short on money a different tip can do wonders, also technique can come into play, for example a tin the tip of your iron with as much solder as you can without letting it drip, touch it to the area you are soldering and maybe add a little flux if it is not shiny. This will give...

SMD stands for surface mounted devices. If you can get it replaced then that is best.

Sadly a cracked solder joint may not be visible, and bent was referring to the frame, if something were bent to keep the flight controller from being close to level I figured that may be a possible cause. One way to test and fix cracked soldered joints of SMD and other devices is to use an SMD...

Sounds like you are in the market for a brushed quad and rather than looking for a lot longer flight times you might just buy a couple extra battery packs. SYMA x5C is a great starter depending on what you are planning to do. Is this something you are getting to help you get into quads, or...

Sounds like a cracked solder joint but I could be wrong. Does anything look bent? And are you calibrating on a level surface when required?

Now that is an idea hahaha.

What is your approximate budget?

12a ESCs sound really small for 935kv motors, and I have heard good things about the bigshark FC. What size props and battery do you have?

I have both types hahah, it can get pretty confusing, one stays on until charged, the other charger lights up when done.

That would affect lift a bit, but if he has a pretty good bit of trust the way it is it won't matter much.
