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?

http://i.imgur.com/bxQaJ9K.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1equ4PS.jpg They're not touching. I just soldered them in the wrong order. How can I fix this in the software? My weird configuration is not in the list of configurations in Cleanflight.

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?

Tried that. Doesn't work. People suggested "tinning" the soldering iron, but when I put solder on it, it just falls off. I'm really annoyed by that soldering iron, it doesn't even heat stuff and somehow I have to use the bottom of it to heat stuff, the dot/tip doesn't even melt the solder...

What is flux? According to the solder stuff it had flux in it.

I just soldered the ESCs to the motors. Noticed that 2/4 were good, but the 3rd and 4th soldering didn't stick to the ESC pad. Somehow it kept releasing. Anyone knows how/why? Using 60/40 solder.

Would be nice to know what 12V and 5V is or I'll fry stuff. So far: - Returning the PDB - Returning the X6B receiver, it won't fit - Ordered spare parts/screws so that the FC will be properly mounted I won't be having OSD because there's no room for an OSD module, and I have no idea which...

Even more trouble has come.... The PDB I ordered (for OSD) doesn't even fit underneath the FC at all... Also there are no schematics or manuals for it and I can't see what 12V, 5V, gnd, VTX pins are because they are very vague... I hate this already
