Hi there. I am new to this and I am getting ready for my first build! (I already own a Nano QX and a 180 QX with a brand new DX6 Transmitter) I want to do this alone without my husband and I want to start my own toolkit (he flies mostly Heli's). What are some important pieces and tools that I should have in my toolbox for emergency repairs either in the field or at home for repairing?

Price is not an option. I am looking to see what I will need and if I have to, I will work slowly at getting it all. My husband has well over $2000 into all of his stuff...I can easily put that much or more into mine, even if it means getting it over time.

I am thinking more in the way of tools but also emergency supplies.

Ok, well for one thing you'll probably do a little soldering, this is a great soldering iron for this type of stuff.

Here is a great screw driver set.
Here is a great little tool kit for small work.
Here is a portable soldering iron for quick repairs in the field and such.

You will need some heat shrink so: , 1/4, 3/16, 1/8.


These are more to give you an idea of tools needed, you may want to brows a little more to get the quality/price tradeoff you would want.
