[00:02:24]   hey friends my name is Aaron Ciotti everybody calls me Ciotti welcome to the show it's Sunday March 9th FPV soldering 101 today I've got this 5in rig on the bench I was going to Blitz through the rest

[00:02:42]   of the soldering after the live stream the other night and then I thought what I don't have a specific live stream diving in like I try to talk about it like at least a couple times a

[00:02:56]   month but I don't have like one live stream that you can just search for the words soldering on and find and it would be nice to have that so we're going to do that today we'll talk about

[00:03:09]    some of the different tools that I've found over the years that really help out quite a bit we're going to talk about the basics and I'm going to solder a bunch of I'm going to do a bunch of solder

[00:03:24]   joints for you to kind of take a look at and get an idea of what's going on soldering is it's daunting it's scary but once you start doing it's really not it's not too bad it's an essential skill

[00:03:42]   to learn for for FPV if you're going to stay in this for the long run like BNF's are great and all but like what's going to happen when not if you break it getting a BNF to

[00:03:55]   get started in FPV is not a bad idea I actually my my very first rig was a BNF my thought process was well I want to I I I want to like get up in the air and

[00:04:09]   fly to see if I'm going to enjoy this and to see if I can handle this before I dive into this world of we're going like nine years back now before I get into this world of custom building

[00:04:24]   everything nineish years ago was when FPV kind of changed from everything was completely custom built to they being a couple of BNF's available that were actually somewhat

[00:04:42]   decent my very first rig was the original emac baby hawk it was all plastic it was white it was like the first inexpensive half decent flying micro so for a hundred bucks it

[00:05:00]   was a $100 FPV fpv drone first time that they were ever inexpensive but also had somewhat decent flight characteristics and it was a 2.3 in rig 2.3 in propellers

[00:05:18]   and it was individual esc's with 30 gauge wires the flight controller was VHB double side VHB be taped to the plastic frame and then there were three 30 gauge wires going to each individual arm

[00:05:39]   LED and I had never soldered before luckily I grew up in a house with a father who was an electrical engineer for many many many years and so one of the soundtracks of my youth

[00:05:56]   was this sound that is the sound of a Weller soldering iron Landing in its little stand and through I guess osmosis I I I I I was not the the worst solderer ever right off the bat although I was

[00:06:24]   pretty bad I never really took an interest in in engineering growing up unfortunately it's a huge regret of mine cuz I had such a wealth of knowledge and such a cool guy in

[00:06:36]   my life to that could have taught me all kinds of stuff but instead I just benefited from his skills and asked him to fix my electronics but nowadays now now that I've been soldering for nine

[00:06:53]   years and I've specifically taken a bunch of info from my dad when I when I started soldering on FPV stuff I was having a really hard time and so I started calling my dad asking him

[00:07:06]   questions and whatnot and then the the first time that like he came to visit me for a holiday at the time I was living in South Carolina my parents live in New Jersey first time he was down

[00:07:18]   to visit me he showed me a bunch of stuff which really helped quite a bit my father's knowledge in soldering is based around being an electrical technician for for 30 40 years for

[00:07:32]   many years he worked on the Princeton plasma physics tokomak plasma Fusion reactor like literal nuclear fusion and when he was working for PPP they actually sent him out to a

[00:07:46]   NASA soldering School Believe It or Not I'm not going to show you how to do it the NASA way because it's not necessary we're not sending these things into space for 20 years we're smashing

[00:07:58]   them into brick walls as an example of like the right way NASA taught him that you're going to Tin you tin a pad with solder and then you actually remove as much of that

[00:08:15]   solder as you possibly can and then you retin the pad we're not going to do that that that's going to add an awful lot of time to all of your builds and we smash these things so often we repair

[00:08:29]   these things so often that it's just not worth it over the years and just building many many many many Rigs and repairing constantly I've developed the sort of like the quickest way of

[00:08:45]   doing this that still gives you really good quality results which is that nice mix and what's interesting is like for a while every single thing that my dad would show me I would like I I I

[00:09:00]   would do it exactly right and it was it was all about like trying to get it absolutely perfect and then eventually like through conversations with him like he explained to me you

[00:09:10]   know look like you're doing soldering for a very specific thing and so your version of what the right way is is going to be based upon that specific thing if you're going and you're

[00:09:24]   repairing these things once a month once every other month you don't need to do absolutely everything perfect because that's going to be a waste of time you want to you want to do it in a

[00:09:36]   way that it lasts for the the for enough time right if I have to spend triple the amount of time during the build process so that it lasts 10 years but then we never do a build that ever lasts 10

[00:09:50]   years because the technology doesn't even last 10 years right and we smash these things into stuff that's a waste of time and so the the way that the the the way

[00:10:02]   that my sort of soldering has developed is if like if this is like way wrong and this is like too perfect over here hold on windows are in the way if this is like absolutely perfect and this is just

[00:10:17]   abysmal we we want to be like dead center abysmal totally perfect I tend to be like maybe over here somewhere where my my work is probably a little bit too clean a little

[00:10:33]   bit cleaner than it needs to be for the amount of time that we get out of these things but I would rather be there than over here right I would rather never ever ever have one of these things

[00:10:46]   fall out of the sky because of a bad solder joint and I think you should too the there are plenty of other things that will cause these to fall out of the sky your solder should not be one of

[00:11:00]   them and it really doesn't take that much extra time to get it damn near perfect and it's a it's really kind of the fundamentals use flux proper technique with like bone

[00:11:17]   support basically don't solder with your elbows up off the desk kind of stuff because then your hand is going to shake cuz all of your muscles are supporting it get bones connected to the desk get

[00:11:29]   the the palms of your hands down get your elbows down so that they're on the desk anybody that's ever done any shooting will know this as bone support you don't like muscle the the rifle or whatever up

[00:11:41]   in the air you tuck your elbows in or if there's something for you to lean against you lean against it so that you're you have less muscle holding the weight it's about having some of the

[00:11:52]   right tools in the ridiculous thumbnail I've got the nerd goggles on nobody wants to wear these but when you wear these you can see what you're doing and so if you want good quality

[00:12:08]   work suck it up buttercup spend $15 on a set of nerd goggles there's a billion of these on Amazon and you'll be able to see what you're doing right and who's watching you solder anyway if

[00:12:22]   there's somebody watching you solder tell them to go poop for a minute so you can put your nerd goggles on so you're not embarrassed so we're going to dive into all of that so that you

[00:12:35]   guys can solder a little bit better and so that I can get a little bit more work done on this 5in rig this is my high-speed freestyle SL cinematic 5in rig it runs a 40° uptilt

[00:12:50]   hero 12 Mount it's got big old 256 I think they are FPV cycle Motors to stay nice and cool while it's going super fast I originally built this rig for a I was I I was hired for a gig

[00:13:12]   chasing Outlaw dirt track sprint cars which will on the Straits will get up a little over 100 miles an hour and so I built this to keep up with them and then the gig got rained out and it

[00:13:26]   never got rescheduled so I've had this like highspeed rig sitting around forever it's on the Glide the FPV cycle Glide frame the old school Glide frame and it's a it's a fairly

[00:13:38]   simple kind of setup it's actually still on Old School DJI V1 but the vistas are indestructible and they work totally fine so not a not a super exciting build but

[00:13:51]    5 in 5 in builds have not progressed all that much in the last like three or four years which is a good thing I mean that's because they got so good three or four years ago that the

[00:14:07]   loow hanging fruit was was all gone so it's a good thing Kevin Jay with a $10 Super Chat thank you so much brother he says hello and happy Sunday to you just finished my finished

[00:14:19]   fixing my grand arino charging batter is going to go work on my car for a bit have a great day friend thank you dude very very cool that sounds like a fun Sunday to

[00:14:27]   me in the chat if You' like to talk directly to me type c FPV in your chat message do me a favor I'm going to dive directly into the soldering here hold your questions for like the next hour

[00:14:40]   or so until the it shouldn't take me much more than an hour to go through all of the different soldering stuff so hold your questions if you don't mind and let's talk about soldering

[00:14:54]   for an hour and then we'll dive into the Q&A portion of the live stream SEF f pv.com is my website where you can support me this is a totally crowdfunded thing that I've got going this way when

[00:15:05]   I when I review stuff you don't have to worry about like oh is he just being nice about this product because he wants that company to send them more no I I tell these companies if they're going to

[00:15:15]   send me something for review if I don't just buy it on my own I'll tell these companies look I'm not going to pull any punches if you only are looking for good reviews don't send it if you're

[00:15:27]   looking for dead honesty send it and that's exactly what you'll get from me some of them choose not to send anything some of them do and streaming schedule is here patreon helps

[00:15:39]   me out the most you can join my patreon for $3 a month that's only 10 cents a day my friends I guarantee you I will save you at least $3 a month from buying garbage or breaking stuff by teaching

[00:15:50]   you to do things the right way Etsy has some really fun stuff for sale bunch of stickers bunch of Hardware there's a full build actually a full custom build up there right now and the I just got

[00:16:03]   a my restock of pin I haven't even had a chance to up put them back in stock on the Etsy store but pin VI .99 MIM drill bits 1.47 mimer drill bits they are going to go back in stock this

[00:16:21]   afternoon over on my Etsy store so keep your eyes out for that Fiverr you can schedule time with me one-on-one I've got over eight years of FPV knowledge if you want good answers to

[00:16:33]   questions rather than the more than 50% bad answers to questions on Reddit and Facebook groups and I'm not exaggerating that it's more than 50% of the time that the answers on those two

[00:16:46]   places are dead ass wrong you can schedule some time with me half an hour hourong sessions you can do it through F if you want the protection they offer or you can just contact me up here at any

[00:16:56]   of these and we'll schedule it out and you can learn a whole lot in a short amount of time teesprings got some really fun shirts like this one and many more buy a shirt take a picture of

[00:17:08]   yourself wearing a shirt wear the shirt to the next FPV event and then anybody else wearing a CiottiFPV shirt you can be like oh my man you like the good guy you like the gangly

[00:17:20]   guy and you'll make some more friends take a picture put it on Instagram I'll tag you for sure PayPal if you want to support me directly but that super chats

[00:17:30]   are evil because YouTube takes 30% they're not evil they give me this place to hang out and do these live streams unfortunately it's not a very good place anymore it usually crashes two or

[00:17:40]   three times per live stream but every the the E ification of this world is is not just on YouTube it's with everything searchable live stream transcripts this is pretty cool guy by

[00:17:51]   the name M Craig is is working on this check it out it's literal Tri transcripts of tons of these live streams that you can search for specific words going to my channel here

[00:18:04]    you can search through the timestamps that Apache smoke wounded sniper and quad bod have done so you come in here and then there's a little tiny magnifying glass here if you

[00:18:18]   click this this will search on my specific Channel this will search the the names of the videos and live streams the descriptions and I believe the comments that are left and so if you

[00:18:35]   search for WalkSnail 1S for example it's going to find a whole bunch of live streams with 1S WalkSnail information in them quad bod and a pachy smoke wounded sniper have done these excellent

[00:18:52]   little timestamps here and so it will search these which is great but this is not a transer this is not a word for word transcript this is a su a summary and so you're in my opinion the first

[00:19:08]   thing that you're going to that you want to do if you're trying to find something specific is to search my channel here this is the first best bet you might find an entire live stream with the

[00:19:17]   answer to your question if if you're coming up dry using this method then you can dive into the transcripts and now you can start searching individual streams Craig is working

[00:19:31]   on a way to search all of the transcripts all at once like a global search here but for the moment you can click through to each individual stream and the entire transcript is here so you

[00:19:44]   can now do like a command or contrl F and search for PP and as you can see during this live stream I did not say PP go for go go me so lots of different ways that

[00:19:58]   you can find the info that you're looking for in individual live streams this is super cool I really appreciate Craig doing this this is really neat but if you if if you were to

[00:20:10]   search all of the transcripts for WalkSnail 1S you would get a million hits on that right and so by searching my website first I think that's a better idea because then you might find a whole

[00:20:22]   like I said a whole stream talking about it and then if you're having trouble finding it you can dive deeper into the transcripts it's very very cool that so many of you have these skills to

[00:20:33]   to do these things to make these live streams more easily searchable long form content is the way my friends I know that shorts are easier to watch and they give you a better ratio of

[00:20:47]   dopamine to time but 60 seconds 30 seconds it's just even a couple of minutes it's just not enough time to get the point across it's not enough time to actually especially with FPV it's not

[00:21:02]   enough time to fully answer a question and give you the information that you really want and so long form content my friends support it do everything you can to keep it alive

[00:21:15]   because unfortunately every day it becomes harder and harder to do it this way and then the another way to support me which is totally free is to use my affiliate links change your

[00:21:26]   bookmarks over to my or someone else's affiliate links try to use an affiliate link every single time you buy something on the Internet there's no reason not to it doesn't affect you negatively in any

[00:21:35]   way Amazon get FPV pyro drone race day quads newbie drone we bed FPV BetaFPV fpv cycle hingi AAG God brain 3dhd Z flywoo emac bang good camera butter and AliExpress those are all the affiliate

[00:21:48]   links that I have if you're like me and you don't use bookmarks anymore and you just hit type AMA to go to Amazon when you type those first couple letters and it makes the suggestion you can

[00:22:02]   remove that suggestion on Chrome it's this little X here if I click this x I'll remove this suggestion I'm not going to do that because this suggestion is my affiliate link and so that's

[00:22:17]   that's something that you can can you can do type AMA remove whatever suggestions you currently have and then hit my Amazon affiliate link a couple times in a row right just click click

[00:22:29]   click click CLI click click and then your browser is going to think that when you type AMA you want to go to my Amazon affiliate link and then you don't have to remember before every single time

[00:22:38]   before you check out to hit someone's affiliate link help people on YouTube make the content in a way that it's free for you to watch by doing stuff remove your suggestions if you

[00:22:52]   don't use bookmarks from a bunch of these different websites hit someone's affiliate link a few times in a row and then you don't even have to think about it the the affiliate links do get

[00:23:01]   cleared out when you check out so you literally have to keep hitting them you can't just roll through here and hit all my affiliate links one time and you're good forever you have to continue to

[00:23:11]   hit them so there's a couple of ways that you can support the people that make the content that you like to watch for free here on YouTube Apache smoke wounded ciper in the chat said what's up

[00:23:19]   SE FPV how you doing I'm I I I answer this question as honestly as I possibly can normally because that is one of the things that I've learned in dealing in how to best

[00:23:35]   deal with the mental illness issues that I have sometimes I don't like if if there's a lot going on or if I'm totally overwhelmed or if I just feel fine which is pretty rare

[00:23:47]    I'll just blast right through it but at the moment I'm extremely tired and I've had a couple weeks of pretty nasty depression that I I think maybe I'm crawling my way out of a little bit I

[00:23:59]   was thinking that a few days ago and then I fell right back down into it if if you have mental illness going on you're not alone I've struggled with it all my

[00:24:11]   life it sucks it's not fun at all but it is a real thing okay it's not something that you can just pull yourself up by your root straps get

[00:24:24]   past it's a real thing and people kill themselves because of it every single day I lost a really good friend in November of last year couple weeks after the election to it

[00:24:39]   it's a real thing and it's not going anywhere and it's actually getting quite a bit worse so you're not alone I've got a on my website here I've got a link to the FPV therapy

[00:24:53]   Facebook group that I've got over on my there's a link to my Discord on my Discord there's a channel called FPV therapy come on over read a bunch of our stories it'll help you not feel

[00:25:06]   so alone which is one of the things that depression in particular does a really good job of is is make you th think that it's just you and maybe feel a little bit better about

[00:25:19]   yourself a lot of us are going through it and we do as many things as we possibly can but it's super difficult and it doesn't go away unfortunately one of the most horrifying descriptions

[00:25:34]   but also one of the most accurate descriptions that I've ever heard about depression is that regardless of how many tools that you have to deal with it exercise eating right talk

[00:25:47]   therapy medication whatever depression will be in the parking lot doing push-ups and that's I don't share that one too often because it's kind of makes you feel a little

[00:26:02]   bit hopeless but I try my best to think of that as keeping me kind of on guard and you sort of have to be like I I wish for some people there's kind of a cure

[00:26:18]   for mental health stuff but there's almost always side effects and so I prefer to look at it in a little more of a realistic way which is that it's always kind of going to be there and

[00:26:30]   even if I have a ton of really good tools to deal with it I'm not going to let myself kind of sleep on it because that's when it's going to come and get you and the results can be

[00:26:40]   pretty permanent unfortunately so there you go there's a mental health rant for you for the day thank you for all the support you guys have have kept this thing going for

[00:26:50]    over three years now and it's pretty cool I really do appreciate it patreon for whatever reason continues to kick people off at the beginning of the month that don't want to be kicked off

[00:27:00]    so check your patreon they used to be Auto renew now apparently you can choose Auto renew or just one month the default I don't think is auto renew anymore so if you want to be on my

[00:27:14]   patreon or if you just have a few bucks a month to spare because it is the way that I can continue to do this jump onto the auto renew and we'll keep hanging out together four times a

[00:27:27]   week every day with Bruno tagged me and said this is what I've been working on trying to do 15 minutes a day but man mental health is is is on a downward slide right now it's not just you

[00:27:36]   brother watching the watching the world burn is is tough lster says gang Weber says what's up CiottiFPV and gangly gang render says gonna go fly my six batteries on my

[00:27:51]   three and a half inch and listen in very cool dronen says what's up man hope you're having an awesome week weekend Yanik says happy Sunday my krux 35 btx plug broke without even flying

[00:28:05]   The Thing Once oh boy FPV is something else is it FPV is something else live stream live I could see it oh you're bro there's really not a great way of fixing that like

[00:28:32]   you can kind of fix it but it's never going to it's never going to be strong again the best thing that you can do here actually for strength is going to be to cut the wires and

[00:28:48]   direct solder the wires onto these tiny little pads here trying to re solder this connector on here is going to be outrageously difficult and it's probably not going to be the cuz the problem is

[00:29:06]   the the connector is the connector is rigid right and so you've got two ground on on the p on the PCB there you've got two ground pads up on the front that are there to

[00:29:23]   hold that plug header down and then you've got 1 2 3 4 five pads in the back without a hot air station with an individual soldering iron you're going to heat one side up you're going to get

[00:29:34]   that plug to go down you're going to heat the other side up that's going to get the plug to go down but then in the back it's going to be it's going to like be seawing and then you're going to

[00:29:43]   go in the back but you can't get all five hot at once probably so you can't get the back to sit down so it the plug is always going to be seawing back and forth and these pads are so

[00:29:55]   small that the tippy or soldering iron's going to be it's just going to be a total pain in the ass it looks like you didn't rip any of the pads off you've got ground 5 volt smart

[00:30:07]   audio and then video I don't know what the fifth pad is but it looks like the pads are still there so I think your best bet is going to be to direct solder to those

[00:30:19]   pads or just buy another one buy a different VTX and start all over with something that's not going to break the I mean you can you can get that same VTX and hope for the best if you get the same

[00:30:39]   VTX here's what I'm going to suggest the two front the the two front solder pads here one and two these are the ones that provide the majority of the strength if you buy another one of these ovx

[00:30:54]   306s you want to add you want to Reflow these two solder joints these were probably cold solder joints which is why this popped off or you just put too much pressure on it so if you get another

[00:31:08]   one of these hit this with the soldering iron until it goes liquid maybe add a little bit of extra solder to it some nice leaded solder and then do the same thing on this side and that'll probably

[00:31:21]   give this plug header enough strength but th this this could also be a lesson learned in plug headers are weak don't put much stress on them so there you go brother that's super

[00:31:35]   annoying but that is a that is a very FPV thing to happen if I'm honest X and it happens to every single one of us at least once exiled FPV says I need a tutorial on

[00:31:50]   repairing those stupid elrs antennas on aios like BetaFPV crap if you're talking about the ceramic antennas I've got I've done it on two different live streams so I showed

[00:32:04]   you guys earlier view my stream click the little magnifying glass here and search for elrs repair fix Friday fixing a broken elrs ceramic antenna and then another elrs ceramic antenna repair there you go

[00:32:20]   I do it in both of these videos two years ago and one year ago I used the same live stream because I'm lazy same thumbnail because I'm lazy Elias says do you think a rapid fire

[00:32:37]   module is worth the price over a standard skyone 04 Pro vrx module probably not to be really honest I mean unless you're doing like long range stuff but for everything other than

[00:32:52]   long range the rapid fire is awful expensive it's super nice and sometimes you can find them used for not $150 but boy the the Speedy B module if you want to buy a new module I

[00:33:10]   think is the is the king of like being relatively recent but also pretty inexpensive I've actually not heard anything about the I didn't even know that skyone had a module I thought they

[00:33:27]   just built them into their goggles and that was that but I I I have two rapid fires I absolutely love them they're red which I super love but it's I would not say it's

[00:33:43]   a necessity the the Speedy B modules probably everybody is good it's a lot newer and it's a lot less money yanic says what about hot air gun HappyModel suggested be used to fix that

[00:33:54]   VTX plug mentioned above Yep Hot Air Station would get the job done but you're going to pay a bunch of money for that for $15 you can just get a new VTX and Away you go you

[00:34:05]   probably won't use a hot air station all that often Kevin Jay thank you again for the generous Super Chat yuriel says old school like me yuriel also says I was in defense fixing space parts were you

[00:34:17]   really noce says check my questions six comments up one two three four five six he says why does NASA rely on soldering versus crimping my dad actually prefers crimping

[00:34:30]    that would be a question for him he comes on the live stream every so often so next time he's on the live stream you can ask him that specifically I can almost guarantee you

[00:34:44]   what his answer is going to be is that crimping is for certain situations soldering is for other situations there are scenarios where soldering is is the best is the best is the right

[00:34:58]   answer and there's scenarios where crimping is is the right answer my I I'll I'll also guess that like connecting a wire to a PCB is where soldering is is the best bet and then

[00:35:15]   like connecting wires together or well situations like connecting wires together is where crimping is going to be the best situation solder solder joints are not super strong

[00:35:30]   mechanically solder is not a good mechanical it doesn't have good mechanical properties crimping does so scenarios where things are going to get yanked apart I'm assuming that

[00:35:42]   crimping is the way to go scenarios where the flow of electricity is more important than strength I'm going to I'm going to bet is where soldering is is a better

[00:35:56]   bet YouTube just did the thing and scrolled me to the bottom scrolling back up here we go every day with Bruno says my nerd goggles make me look cool I think LOL Islander and nobody looks cool

[00:36:13]   wearing weing nerd goggles Islander FPV says do you have any batteries on the charger I do not I have one single 450 sitting here I don't have the basement set up I'm actually going to

[00:36:25]   put this 450 on on the on the discharger I will put two batteries on the charger though the the two 300mah batteries I will put them on the charger for you because we flew all 260 Mah

[00:36:42]   batteries on Friday's stream I'll charge up these 300s and we'll do two quick 300 MH batteries at the end of the live stream how's that you got to remind me

[00:36:53]   though Uriel says je nice shirt get yours over at my Teespring store linked on Ciotti fv.com thrash FPV says how many times a week does FPV make you want to bash your bash your head into a wall

[00:37:09]   at least two or three sometimes dozens FPV is hands down the most infuriating hobby activity whatever that I've ever been involved with it is absolutely brutal but the people that

[00:37:27]   stay in it for more than 6 months are all crazy and so here we are a bunch of stubborn ass mules Smoking Dog Kua says they now have nerd goggles with an inter internal LED

[00:37:44]   battery no more heaviness that's pretty cool that's pretty cool I I I when I had batteries in mine to use that little LED I didn't find the LED was like all that helpful but

[00:37:58]    we'll talk about it we'll talk about the goggles in a minute let me just get caught up on chat Kevin J says bone support when soldering is the most important device I've ever

[00:38:07]   heard yep for sure lebster says finally I'm joining your patreon love your streams thank you very much lster welcome to the gangly gang hok says I built a 2in 5 amp AIO 1102

[00:38:21]   23,000 KV tried 2.2 in three blade and it's much faster the amp on Full Throttle is going up to 25 amps Jesus well on the 2in 3B props is 22 amps Max 12 amp AO better a 5 amp AIO or a 5 amp

[00:38:39]   ESC that's 5 amps per channel so 20 amps total how on Earth did did himox pull 22 amps the the amp rating on these is the constant amp rating there'll be a if you look at the specs on an ESC or an AO

[00:38:58]    there will be the constant rating and then there'll be a burst rating and the burst rating is usually higher usually what I see on a 5 amp ESC or AO is that the burst rating is 6 amps so that's 6

[00:39:11]   amps Time 4 24 amps but also the burst rating will have a Time associated with it usually it's 6 seconds so up to 6 amps per channel for six consecutive seconds here's the thing

[00:39:29]   none of our batteries will sustain these number of amps for six full seconds you'll get like a half of a second so a 5 amp AIO is actually pretty damn safe even pulling 22 amps because you'll

[00:39:44]   get that 22 amps for a quarter of a second and then it'll drop down to 21 20 19 18 17 right as the battery sags like crazy 22 amps is a lot though admittedly so and we always try to

[00:39:59]   over speec we always try to have a bunch of Headroom on the ESC because the esc's are usually What fail so on that rig a 12 amp AIO would be a better idea but technically that five amp AIO should

[00:40:13]   last a maybe forever I mean it won't because none because all the aios are kind of junk and they blow up sooner than you'd like them to but that's why it's working a 12 aamp AIO would

[00:40:28]   definitely be better free lojo with a $12 Super Chat he says for the healthcare fund thank you brother very cool three oh you're going to make me do math was that 17 317 I think that's

[00:40:40]   right that's right thank you dude thrash FB says I have a stricks board and I went to charge a battery it had a DC to XT60 plugged in for goggle batteries and somehow a magnet got stuck

[00:40:55]   on top and bridged the DC Port oh my God blue port on the stricks that sucks literally literally Sparks shot out and said reverse polarity oh god dude H yet another welcome to FPV moment

[00:41:10]   every day with Bruno says if you see this could you give some pointers on extending motor wires during the lesson currently working on doing that I'm not going to do it but here's what

[00:41:20]   I'll tell you this is all you need to know extending motor wires sucks and the best way to do it is with arm LEDs it's a perfect excuse to get cool LEDs on your arms and or race

[00:41:36]   wires race wires are awesome they are flat pcbs that you solder the motor to on one side and then a set of a set of motor wires on the other side that then go to your ESC this is my absolute

[00:41:50]   favorite way of dealing with motor wires that are too short this is also my favorite way to make my rigs more durable this PCB is super strong and it is in the location where prop strikes happen

[00:42:04]   raw motor wires will take like one or two prop strikes before it slices through two of them that are next to each other and bad things start to happen so best way to extend

[00:42:17]   motor wires is to not extend motor wires it's to buy race wires or LED race wires they're sold all over the place tiny LEDs let's see race wire

[00:42:34]   LEDs so there you go if you search Google for racewire LEDs these are the exact ones that I have on this build these are kind of long though I can't really recommend these these are some

[00:42:46]   of my favorites CL racing over on race day quads these are made by newbie drone bwire lights these are okay I've actually not used these but they're all pretty much the same thing

[00:42:58]   here's the regular old race wires with no LEDs on them and then tiny LEDs t i ns it's like tiny APO tiny apostrophe s like the guy's name is Tiny apostrophe s LEDs it's looks like

[00:43:18]   tiny sleds though the URL ends up being tiny sleds he is one of if not The Originators so on Tiny LEDs he's got a ton of different options in different lengths so take some measurements of your of the

[00:43:35]   arms on your quad basically on a on a micro like with three or 3 and 1/2 in props you're going to want the shortest possible length you're going to want like 15 mm long or 20 millim

[00:43:54]   long at the max I don't want wiring I want all LEDs so here we go so here's these are like the standard ones these should be 20 mm long couple different colors these are actually 25 mm long

[00:44:11]   so these are mainly going to be for like a five or a 4 in rig for a three or 3 and 1 half inch rig these are going to be a little bit tough to fit on the arm you're going to look for 20 mm long

[00:44:23]   ones for micros basically so 25 or 30 mm long for 5 in Rigs and then for micro seat race wire mini LED two pack these are going to be either 20 or 25 these are still 25 don't get these for a micro

[00:44:42]    here you go micro race wire light 9 by 15 15 mm will definitely fit on micros 3 in 3 and 1/2 in you can even make a 20 mm long one work but just make sure you look look that up don't get a

[00:44:57]   30 mm long race wire for a 3-in rig it's going to be the length of the entire arm and you're it's going to be it's just not going to work if you don't want to go that

[00:45:11]   route you never want to again solder is not a good it doesn't have good mechanical principles so if you strip two pieces of wire like this if my Knuckles are the are the the silicone

[00:45:25]   and if you strip two pieces of wire and you just do this super half-ass thing and maybe you put a piece of shrink wrap over it's just going to rip right apart at the very least you want to

[00:45:36]   strip twice the length that you think you should and do this with them and you actually want to do like you want it to overlap if if you've stripped this much you want the joint to be in the middle

[00:45:50]   so that it's overlaps the same amount and so now by doing this the strength is coming from the wires themselves and then this you're going to do a big round blob of solder all around the whole

[00:46:03]   thing to make sure that it doesn't do this so the actual pulling strength is coming from the wires rather than the solder itself you ever notice solder is like kind of soft right it is it's soft

[00:46:17]   because it can we so that we can melt it at a low temperature that makes it not very strong the wires are harder and so this is what you want to do but racewire LEDs are awesome they also

[00:46:30]   you know make it so that you can find it when you turn on your your beeper they flash so it makes it a lot easier to find your if you got a quad stuck up in a tree the Beeper

[00:46:43]   is if it's 100 feet up and there's a couple of trees the Beeper ain't going to do you any good but if it's sitting there flashing you'll be able to see it so the arm LEDs are really really really

[00:46:53]   nice and they're cool looking and they're fun Tas says what are your thoughts on the Speedy B25 I don't even know what that is but man Speedy B has been making some really good stuff so

[00:47:04]   it's probably really good cold front and penguin says can I mix and match ESC and flight controllers absolutely you just have to look up the pin out for the connector between the ESC and the flight

[00:47:18]   controller because when you mix and match even sometimes when you don't mix and match those pinouts will be different and if you send like raw vol Vol AG from the the ESC up into like a

[00:47:30]   TX pad on the flight controller you might blow it up so you got to look at the pinouts between the two and you got to match them up wire by Wire by Wire by wire which is a little bit

[00:47:40]   annoying but it's totally doable BMF Spade says my soldering station has a hot air station all inone got it cheap off Amazon that's super cool Uriel says at least there's

[00:47:50]   somebody next to me who says we're crazy indeed and I'm caught up awesome all right cool so fair warning questions in the chat are going to just sit for a while because I'm going to dive into

[00:48:03]   soldering 101 all right first and foremost gear the gear is kind of important but it's not the most important thing I'm just going to move over here and we'll kick the bench cam on and

[00:48:20]   I'll just do everything through this camera my apologies in advance for this camera inability to autofocus all that well solder is important mg chemicals makes really good solder there are other

[00:48:37]   brands that make good solder but mg chemicals is kind of like the biggest brand what you want is 6337 if you can only get 640 that's okay it's not the end of the world but 6337

[00:48:57]   is a little bit better it gives you a little bit more time when it's cooling down and it has slightly better properties here there you go mg chemicals 6337 almost all solder has flux at

[00:49:16]   its core this has 2.2% flux that's normal 22 gauge that is the thickness of the solder this is not super thin this is also not super thick some people might like 20 gauge

[00:49:30]   some people might like 24 gauge it's 22 gauge is a good nice round number that's all you really need to know mg chemicals makes really good solder 6337 if you can 22 gauge although

[00:49:46]   doesn't really matter all that much really shitty solder is a pain in the ass to work with admittedly so don't buy the cheapest solder that you can possibly find get you some mg chemicals

[00:50:01]   this spool of solder will last me about 10 years I'm not even kidding and I do a lot of building so spending a couple of extra dollars on proper mg chemicals solder is a really good idea because

[00:50:15]   it's going to last you forever the nerd goggles these are made by yako soon but if you just type actually down below in the description there should be links to a bunch of this stuff if you just

[00:50:29]   search for magnified magnifying goggles or magnifying headset on the internet you'll find a million different companies that make these same goggles they come with a bunch

[00:50:44]   of different lenses with different magnifications use the ones that are the highest magnification these are 2 and 1/2x they have a silly little LED here which is powered by three triple a

[00:50:57]   batteries inside here don't put those batteries in there it makes this very uncomfortable to wear and that led kind of sucks what you really want is something like

[00:51:09]   this a light on a on an arm these are sometimes called architect lights sometimes they're called magnifying this magnifying sucks it's doesn't it doesn't really magnify enough

[00:51:26]   for it to be worth it the point is you can move this thing really close to the work so that you can actually see what you're doing with no Shadows this is really really nice to have as I smack it

[00:51:39]   you see the lights are there's a couple capacitive touch buttons here that I'm smacking this is super super super nice to have if if you're working in your own shadow because you're using

[00:51:54]   like room lights that are up above your head it's going to drive you insane you have to have a light source that's like here that's shining down so that when you bring your big dumb head in there

[00:52:05]   you're not making your own shadow so proper light is important soldering iron over on FPV noit all.com Joshua has a bunch of really good suggestions in his tools section for soldering irons this is a

[00:52:21]   Weller 1010 it's about 100 bucks and it's the last soldering iron you'll ever need to buy you can get soldering irons that are just as good for a little bit cheaper but Weller is an old school

[00:52:33]   company and my dad's soldering iron that made this noise for my entire youth was also a Weller also like the light blue is just kind of cool looking so if you're fancy get yourself a Weller if

[00:52:47]   not the hacko is everybody's good flux yes there is flux inside the solder as I showed you a minute ago but having an actual tube of dedicated flux is really important and this is the way to

[00:53:05]   do it this is flux paste in a syringe the syringe tip is going to apply just a little bit exactly where you need it and the fact that it's paste it's going to stay where you want it the other

[00:53:21]   really popular method with flux is a flux pen which has like a one of these little tips and mine is actually all dried out because I haven't used this in Forever this will dispense liquid

[00:53:40]   flux and it's handy because you can just really quick go bang bing bing bing but the problem is the liquid flux it runs and it's really thin and it doesn't it doesn't stay where you want it to

[00:53:54]   be so I almost never use this flux pen anymore to be completely honest with you a way of holding the work down is important the easiest thing that my dad showed me was just masking tape

[00:54:12]   if you're working on if you're working on a component you just do a strip of masking tape to hold it down so that it doesn't move when you're trying to work on it everybody has masking tape an even

[00:54:29]   better solution though is the Omni fixo there are lots of different Helping Hands available that have little alligator clips on them and they're all trash and if you have them you should

[00:54:46]   throw them away they they make it more difficult to get the job done than they actually help mainly because those silly like gorilla arm things with like the half balls that snap into each other

[00:55:02]    they like when you push on them they Bend and then when you let go they Bend back so they don't stay exactly where you want them to the Omni fixo is Magic because it uses magnets with a little

[00:55:18]   piece of rubber and then a ball and so when you push it's stays exact exactly where it stopped it doesn't do this thing where like you push it and then when you let go it moves back a bunch

[00:55:34]   you move it and it stays exactly where it should be also the Jaws open flat so you can put like you can put like an entire bundle of wires in here and it'll grab all of

[00:55:50]   the wires evenly rather than the alligator clips that have a tendency to like kind of pinch a little bit more here they're kind of flat but not really these are amazing the Omni fixo is absolutely

[00:56:05]   fantastic it's I think it's like 20 or 30 something dollars it's also nice and these guys are are magnet are magnetic onto this so you can move these around super simply it's also nice and

[00:56:18]   small most of the Helping Hands are huge and they're a pain in the ass to move around your desk this is nice and small so if if you're using this and you've got like a a

[00:56:30]   board all set up properly right and you work on the on this pad but now you want to go over to this pad instead instead of like wrapping your arms around in some like super

[00:56:44]   uncomfortable position you just take the thing and you just move it you move the work one of the core principles is that you want to move the work to you don't move yourself around the the work move

[00:56:57]   the work in a way that you can be comfortable with your hands and the Omni fixo being small and light like this allows you to really easily do that that's one of the biggest mistakes that

[00:57:09]   people make is they is they don't move like the the work is like static and they're and they're moving their hands all around it and they're shaking because there's no way to do proper bone

[00:57:18]   support because they're in this weird position stop it do that do that do that move this into a place where you can comfortably come at it bro cool this is a silicone silicone rubber Work

[00:57:38]   Mat I've used a lot of different mats this is by far my favorite this area up top has a magnet underneath it and so it's like lightly magnetic which is kind of cool it gives you a spot to put all

[00:57:51]   kinds of garbage what I really like about it though is that this this surface is kind of grippy and so when I have something on here if I'm just doing like a super quick job if it

[00:58:04]   sits flat it won't skid across the surface cuz the surface has this like kind of grippiness to it also if you touch the tip of the soldering iron to this it doesn't melt it silicone just

[00:58:17]   like gobbles up the heat this is pretty cool pair of tweezers or two you want to have some blunt tipped tweezers you want to have some sharp tipped tweezers as well you've already got Flush

[00:58:36]   Cutters I think that's about it little bit of alcohol to clean stuff off but that's not the biggest deal I think that's it oh oh oh no no no no no there there is one more thing

[00:58:56]   that is absolutely important which is get rid of your get rid of your solder sucker and get you some John some John solder Wick can you please Focus God damn you get yourself some

[00:59:14]   solder Wick this is the way to remove solder the solder sucker hits the hits the solder joint and that can very easily when when you put heat into a solder pad I said solder joint I meant to say

[00:59:38]   solder pad when you put heat into a solder pad you're heating up the adhesive below that solder pad and now if you have a solder sucker and it smashes into that pad to try to suck the

[00:59:50]   solder up that's a great way to lift that pad solder Wick or solder braid as some people call it will remove Dam near near all of the solder from a joint in a way that's

[01:00:05]   completely like stressfree basically so this is how you remove solder this is good stuff and if you get one that says wick on it you can write John in front of it and then laugh every single

[01:00:18]   time you take it out of the toolbox I think that's it I think those are the the I think that is the extent of what you can buy to make your soldering better the real way to improve your

[01:00:35]   soldering is to is to just go back to basics and stick to the fundamentals now the damn thing won't there we go is to really work on the basics and I'm actually going to move this back out of

[01:00:55]   the way to kind of show you a bunch of those Basics basic number one be able to see what the hell you're doing I cannot stress enough how important being able to see what you're doing is and how much

[01:01:10]   better your work will be if you can see what you're doing so suck it up buy yourself a set of these goddamn magnifying headset nerd goggle things and get yourself a proper light source

[01:01:23]   because soldering in light that's it's all janky sucks soldering in nice bright Shadow free light is awesome that is fundamental number one I swear to God just be able to see what you're doing it

[01:01:40]   it might be the thing that helps the most fundamental number two is bone support and again I talked about it a minute ago but it's basically getting as many points of contact as you can with a

[01:02:00]   physical surface the desk or if you're leaning against something that doesn't move oh a loop good call good call yep 5x Loop l u p the nerd goggles are going to be like 2 and a half magnification

[01:02:15]   this is going to be 5x or even 10x l u p you can find these Jeweler's Loops something with 5x magnification bone support super super super important the easiest I mean starting

[01:02:32]   like worst case scenario I'm GNA have to move over for this worst case scenario is that you're soldering with your whole arm up in the air you've got to use these muscles up

[01:02:48]   here you've got to use muscles all the way down your arm and all the way up here to hold the weight of your arm and the sold iron and no matter what this is going to

[01:02:59]   shake One Step better than this there's an armrest on this chair One Step better is to get my elbow down on the armrest if I can the at least do this these muscles don't have

[01:03:14]   to work anymore it's just muscles from here because I've got bone support on the arm of my chair if if you if you can like twist yourself sideways so first step is to

[01:03:28]   try to get your elbow down even better than that is to get your wrist down get your wrist down on the table now you don't have to use any of these muscles you just use the muscles in your

[01:03:43]   hand this is really where things start to get good and you start to have a situation where there's not a lot of shaking going on even better is to get this part of your hand down we're

[01:03:59]   we're just shortening the amount of distance between the tip of the soldering iron and the muscles that have to work what I really try to do is get my my hand down like this and Roll It

[01:04:11]   Roll my hand over so that I can hold the soldering iron like this now I've got a connection point right here between the desk that's barely going to move also by doing this you're

[01:04:27]   flattening out the soldering iron and if you look at the tip of the soldering iron the flatter you get it the bigger the contact patch is going to be you want to transfer as much heat as you can

[01:04:42]   as quickly as you can and so bringing your soldering iron down like this onto the work you're only going to use this tiny little contact patch and it's not going to trans for heat very quickly versus if

[01:04:58]   you flatten the soldering iron out and you bring it in 90° to the work you can use the entire flat part to transfer that heat quickly and so that's one of the other reasons that I tend to roll my

[01:05:13]   hand down on the desk like this is so that I can flatten this soldering iron out when you put this part of your hand down look at the angle that happens right you're you're bringing this thing

[01:05:23]   in at a really steep angle yes you can push the work forward you can push the work forward and you can bring it in at relatively flat of an angle right like the the tip

[01:05:37]   has this little angle on it and so if if you look it's pretty flat here so if you get the work all the way out here absolutely you can bring the soldering iron in but now look at the distance

[01:05:48]   right look at the distance between the tip of the iron and your and your bone support point this is going to shake more than this this is actually my absolute favorite way to solder is to roll my

[01:06:01]   hand down like this let the soldering iron kind of sit you don't even have to grip it you've got this little bit of weight from the the cord and it just sits really nicely

[01:06:12]   right here your fingers are nowhere near the hot bit and it's super comfortable you can kind of even pull it in like this whatever is comfortable for you though this is a this is also like I'm a

[01:06:25]   drummer and I took many many many years of private lessons from a jazz drummer and so this is this is matched grip so this is also comfortable for me because of that but

[01:06:37]   it's still it's a really comfortable way to hold the soldering iron it's nice and balanced you're not having to like use your muscles to lift the cable up speaking of the

[01:06:47]   cable get your get your cable run in a way that it has has a little bit of weight to it but not a lot of weight see it looping down here make sure the cable is not getting

[01:07:03]   all tangled up in your in your lamp here that shoots on your on your stuff get your get your soldering iron cable into a spot where it's not getting all tangled that's a that's just one of

[01:07:17]   those other things one of those simple life tips manage your cables my friends so that's one of the biggest things with the the soldering iron is that bone support to make sure

[01:07:28]   that that you're not shaking if you're shaking there's a potential that you're going to bridge to another Port if you're soldering two pads that are really close and you're

[01:07:44]   shaking there's a chance that you might jump these two together and then you have to completely undo everything and restart the the other issue with shaking is more with your

[01:07:57]   offand when when you solder when you solder something down you put a bunch of heat into the solder it turns to a liquid state when you remove the heat it's going to cool down and it's going to go

[01:08:12]   back to a solid if there's movement if there's shaking if this is the pad and this is the wire if your offand is shaking when you're holding that wire on the pad as if cools it's not going to solidify in one

[01:08:29]   big thing you're going to be moving it and it's going to solidify here and then you're going to move it back and it's going to have like little internal cracks in there basically that's called

[01:08:39]   a cold solder joint and it is not strong cold solder joints are the ones that fail you can have a cold solder joint that's perfectly shiny they're not always dull sometimes they are a dull

[01:08:52]   solder joint means that it's dirty and it's oxidized because you were on the joint for too long and all of the flux burned off and then it started to oxidize that's not a great thing but

[01:09:06]   even more important is that you hold the the hold everything still when it's cooling down don't blow on it by you blowing on it you're going to introduce some motion just stare at it and just

[01:09:19]   relax and try to stay as still as you possibly can if you've got good bone support you want to have support on your off hand too if you're holding wires get your left hand flat down and try to hold

[01:09:31]   the wires in a way that they're not moving at all Denzel the turble says I looked away for a second can you show the match grip thing people are talking about I hold the I I tend to hold the

[01:09:42]   soldering iron like like this like I I used to hold drumsticks it's hard for me to show you on this camera I tend to hold it like this instead this is this is really good this

[01:09:58]   is a really good way to start getting your wrist down and then you can push out to get the soldering iron flat but you've got this big long distance here even better is to roll your hand down

[01:10:09]   and then hold the soldering iron flat like this hold it in here and then you can move it around and you've just got this tiny little distance between your bone support down here and the

[01:10:23]   actual soldering iron and it brings it in nice nice and flat this is my favorite way after years of doing this and there's also a lot of dexterity here you can move it left and right up

[01:10:32]   and down it's easy to move the tip of the solder on around if you need to pull it off the The Joint really quickly you can just do it it's works really

[01:10:44]   well I don't know if it's NASA approved or not but it works really well for me beo riding Grind With A $9.99 Super Chat thank you brother he says solder porn a Sunday this is great guidance also your

[01:10:53]   snare ddle has got to be Snappy hell LOL I played I played drums for a long time I got pretty good I I I used to be a lot better than I am now but I'm every time I play which is like

[01:11:05]   maybe once or twice a week I'm both shocked at how much I remembered I've remembered but also horrified by how much I've forgotten not necessarily forgotten but just

[01:11:19]    rust has set in bone support tools tip number three is to get we're going to start doing some work and we're going to talk tip number three is going to be the a a

[01:11:43]   two-parter it's going to be sort of the sequence of event oh no this tip number three use flux this should be tip number one use flux all the time always use flux forever if there's no smoke there's no

[01:11:57]   flux your job is going to be a lot more difficult use flux all the time tip number three almost every single time unless you can visibly see some of the yellow resin Left Behind not resin

[01:12:12]   but yellow residue left behind by the flux hit's again we're going to do the first thing that I I should do is actually kind of a tough job that's also going to be pretty tough to get the

[01:12:28]   camera in so I'll I'll I can do some of the other work some of the easier stuff which is which are the motor pads this is going to be the best way for me to show you the sequence of events and

[01:12:42]   the the sequence of events is going to be tip four or whatever I'm going to lose track of the numbers very soon because I'm making them up as I go but that's okay so get here we go this

[01:12:54]   is the sequence of events this is important get out of the way don't do this work unless you're like in the field or in a hurry or something don't do this work when there's a

[01:13:09]   whole bunch of stuff in the way it's already difficult don't make it even more difficult on yourself get out of the way if you have to use a little piece of VHB to stick something

[01:13:24]   out of the way that's fine whatever it takes just get out of the way the little Omni fixo you can actually pull the little guys off and then you can just use them as little

[01:13:38]   clamps which is kind of fun clamp that out of the way cool now I've got a nice working area right here flux first we're going to do think about if you want to work left to

[01:13:55]   right or right to left I will typically work left to right because the soldering iron stays out of the way which I hold in my right hand this one then this one then this one then this one then this

[01:14:09]   one then this one it does kind of depend on how the wires are going to be hooking up in this case these wires are going to be coming off at a 45 degree angle so going left to right won't help me on

[01:14:23]   these three joints it will help me on these three though so I'm going to do these three joints first but as you're going to see I'm going to have to move the work but we'll talk about that in a

[01:14:32]   second so think about left to right or right to left try it different ways there there are benefits to go one way versus the other whatever is the most comfortable for you is the way that you

[01:14:43]   should go turning the soldering iron on I run my soldering iron at 700 de fahr that is hot enough for big solder joints but it's not so hot that it's impossible for 30 gauge

[01:14:59]   wires so while we're waiting for the soldering iron to come up to temperature I'm going to flux these first thing I'm going to do is put the goddamn nerd goggles on for God's sakes put these

[01:15:14]   on all right I got to hold the soldering like a marimo player doing four Ms I never learned to play Mara so first things first we're going to put a little bit of flux pce on each one of these

[01:15:26]   pads I'm doing the first three pads on the left here so we're going to put just a little blob on one two and three this ESC is not hot yet so it will stay as flux paste this is how much I'm

[01:15:46]   putting on there I'm going to set this camera to manual focus cuz otherwise it is going to drive me completely insane manual focus as close as it will

[01:16:05]   focus so the little blobs on top are the solder sorry the flux the flux the flux so these pads I have already tinted these pads have a layer of solder all the way up on top I did that on the

[01:16:23]   previous live stream I've now added a little bit of flux which boy can you not see they're so shiny that it's really hard to see The Blob of flux there you can kind of see it but just a

[01:16:37]   little bit of flux on top why is that not showing up worth a good godamn exposure manually adjust the exposure wow it's still hard to see it well it's there there's a little tiny blob blux on

[01:16:55]   top of each one of those I think you can maybe kind of see it hopefully there you can kind of see it there you go there you can see it on the left one that left one has a little bit

[01:17:05]   extra but that's okay all right so now we've got the pads tined all tinning means is that you've put a coating of solder on each one of the pads you're also going to Tin the

[01:17:26]   wires so that when you connect the pad to the wire you've got all the solder that you need already on it I'm going to move these wires out of the way and down a little bit

[01:17:39]   here and then I'm going to work this first wire here so you can see the tip of that wire this wire on the left here has a bunch of solder already on it the pad the far-left pad that I'm going to

[01:17:53]   hook it up to already has a bunch of solder on it so I don't have to try to grow a third arm to both hold the wire hold the soldering iron and add solder this is super important you need to have

[01:18:09]   the wire tined and the pad tined and if you do the process is going to be nice and simple and I will try it is incredibly difficult to do this work with the camera all up in there so the quality

[01:18:29]   of my work right now is not going to be as good as I would like it but I'm doing this to kind of show it to you guys and if I have to I'll come back after the fact and fix

[01:18:44]   this there you can really see the flux I'm pushing the flux around not on purpose but because everything is in the way right now look where the silic is I want this silicone

[01:18:56]   to hang off the side of the pad I want the wires to sit perfectly flat against the pad that's important let me just do this real quick and then we'll talk a little bit

[01:19:11]   more about it I took the soldering iron out of the stand and I cleaned it right away I'll show you that in a second see how the silicone is now hanging off the side

[01:19:25]   nice and steady with my left hand with tweezers bring in the heat I don't have flux on top of the wire so it's taking a second well okay look if you're new to soldering here's

[01:19:38]   what you want to do you want to flux the pad and then you want to flux the wire as well you saw how long I had the iron on The Wire just now right and nothing happened now I've added a little bit of

[01:19:51]   flux watch this ready wow it's still kind of struggling there it goes everything goes fluid give it a second reposition if you need to push I like to push down a little bit on the

[01:20:16]   wire nice and still give it a chance to solidify without blowing on it without any other nonsense that is really really nice we've got the silicone off the side of the pad the

[01:20:31]   wires are sitting totally flat and it's at the right angle I took a little bit long to do that I would have done that a little bit faster I would like to have done that a little

[01:20:42]   bit faster but that's not too bad I then push on the wire a little bit just to get a little bit of an angle going there to get it out of the way of anything that's going to kind of hit it

[01:20:53]   you can see that I've soldered these wires the the solder has crept down into the wire the quicker you are on the pad the less this will happen this is not the end of the world but ideally there

[01:21:10]   would be a little bit less of a section here that's kind of solid so in terms of how the that's not the right button in terms of how the wire sits on the pad right you've got your

[01:21:24]   PCB and then you've got adhesive and then you've got the metal pad if you pull straight up on that metal pad you pull straight up on the adhesive and it's easy to lift and rip that pad off

[01:21:37]   if you solder your wire to that pad 90° if the wire gets pulled it's going to pull sideways and then it's going to have to try to pull all of that adhesive all at once the pads are much stronger

[01:21:52]   at a 90° angle so so always try to get your wire down at a 90° angle to the pads the other thing is that there's more of a contact patch if the wire comes in like this there's only going to

[01:22:06]   be a tiny little contact patch whereas if the wire is flat you can see area it the contact patch is the entire pad so it's going to flow electricity a lot better the outside

[01:22:20]   pads I do at a 90° angle the next two pads I'm going to do at a 45° angle but I'm going to make sure that I get the wire flat it's not going to be a 45 like this it's going to be a 45 like

[01:22:33]   that I'll show you that in a second there was something else that I was going to say but I forget what it was maybe I'll think of it in a second this next pad here already has

[01:22:50]   flux on it as you put heat into this ESC the whole ESC is going to get hot and this flux paste will this flux paste will start to melt a little bit that's okay it's still going to be coated in

[01:23:02]   flux I'm going to take my tweezers now and I'm going to grab the next wire all right actually I'm going to put the nerd goggles back on is what I'm going to

[01:23:17]   do and now I'm going to move the work because I'm now pulling these wires in at a 45° angle and I want my offand to be in a better more comfortable kind of position and so I've just rotated oh oh

[01:23:37]   oh that was the other thing that I wanted to tell you the sequence needs to be you take the soldering iron out of the stand you clean it you do the work that's another tool

[01:23:54]   that I forgot is a brass steel wool piece to clean the soldering iron you can clean the tip of the soldering IR with a sponge a wet a semi- wet sponge or with a little brass

[01:24:11]    a brass steel wool thing the brass steel wool things I like the best so the sequence is soldering iron out of the stand clean it do the job put it back in the stand don't clean it before

[01:24:25]   you put it back in the stand and I'm going to show you the brass thing in a second let me just do these other two joints and then we will come back around so now I'm holding it outwards at a 45°

[01:24:41]   angle because it needs to clear the pad right next to it just get a little bit more comfortable again you want to spend all of your time getting comfortable and getting the wire perfectly into position

[01:24:55]   rather than getting antsy and just putting the heat into the work and then trying to do it all at once I've got the wire exactly where I want it I'm able to hold it nice and

[01:25:10]   steady pushing down a little bit to flatten the wires out and that's pretty good there's not quite enough solder on there now you see how you see

[01:25:28]   how right here see how it looks like there's kind of a Sharp angle here you don't want that you want everything to be nice and smooth this is this is kind of fine but it's not the best one of the

[01:25:43]   problems here is that this silicone is too far up I don't have quite enough exposed wire so let me see if I can push this silicone down a little bit there we

[01:25:59]   go so that's going to give me a little bit more exposed wire I'm going to do what's called reworking this which is to take this off and begin

[01:26:12]   again so let's come in here and let's remove this so we've got no flux look how long it's taking for the heat to penetrate ready see how nothing happened there watch this just the tiniest little

[01:26:26]   bit of flux and now it's going to transfer the heat much faster I should have put a little bit more flux the other way to transfer the heat faster is to do what's called tinning

[01:26:49]   the tip of the soldering iron take your little your little roll of solder here you just wrap a bunch of solder around the handle of a screwdriver and then you can make a

[01:27:02]   little thing like this put it down next to your little work area hold the wire get the tweezers into position and then just drop the tip of your soldering iron down on this little

[01:27:17]   spool of solder and just pick up a little tiny bit of solder on the tip of the iron if it's not working the tip of your iron is dirty clean it the tip of the soldering iron

[01:27:34]   oxidizes immediately when you're done cleaning it and when it's oxidized it doesn't transfer the heat now that it's nice and clean drop it down in the solder this is also what's happening

[01:27:47]   when the the solder will not stick to the tip of your iron there we go clean tip of the iron I picked up a little bit solder now when I drop it down it's going to immediately transfer the heat

[01:27:59]   so the problem that I'm having right here with this wire is there's not enough solder on the pad or on the tip of the wire also I don't have quite enough of the of the wire exposed so what I

[01:28:16]   like to do is just grab the tip of the wire and just pull back on the silicone you can you can usually expose a bunch more of the wire without coming in and cutting the silicone again the silicone

[01:28:28]   is pretty pretty sort of malleable and stretchy so now you see that now I've got a bunch more of the wire in TI tinning the tip of the soldering iron I also added a

[01:28:42]   bunch of solder to this solder joint what I'm going to do though this next time is I'm going to Tin the tip of the soldering iron again right before I do this work and that's going to add even

[01:28:52]   more solder so so clean the tip get the wire into position I have enough flux from a second ago get the wire into the right position there now with the silicone backed off

[01:29:08]   drop the tip of the iron down on the little roll of solder see I picked up a little solder ball there and now bring the work in that's going to decrease the amount of time

[01:29:23]   that it takes for the Heat to transfer and now oh I'll fart and now at the last second I can whoa boy I told you it's hard to do this work with the camera in the

[01:29:42]   way all right flatten that out I don't like to be on the pad this long but it's not the end of the world on a big ESC like this all all right transfer all that heat O Okay so this joint is a little

[01:30:00]   bit better but it's still not as good as I usually kind of like it to be but this is this is a joint that is a little bit ugly but it's very strong it's very strong because there's

[01:30:19]   no sharp angles and so this is this is done there there's no reason to come back in and rework this unless you're an idiot like me the reason I'm going to rework it is

[01:30:33]   because I like for them to be smooth all the way up over on the top but again this is completely fine what what's happening on this joint the way the reason that it looks the way that it

[01:30:45]   looks is that if this is the Flat Pad I want the wires to be completely flat here what happened right at the last second is I dropped my left hand down and it and it pivoted up and now the

[01:30:57]   tips of the wires are kind of sticking up a little bit too tall what all I need to do is is lift this hand but it started to really absorb all of the all of the

[01:31:08]    all of the heat from it because I was on the pad for too long so that's fine we'll give it a split second it's you can make a pretty strong argument for just getting the

[01:31:24]   work done as quickly as possible so that you're putting as little heat as you can into the ESC I've done it both ways over the last nine years and I've never really seen a difference I've never

[01:31:37]   ripped a pad off if you come anywhere anywhere close to this level of work you will be absolutely fine and you will never have a solder pad breakoff if you follow half of these Basics you will

[01:31:52]   never have a solder pad break off it's way more important for you to follow these Basics confidently than to hem and hul over the the proper NASA soldering techniques none of your

[01:32:06]   stuff is going to last that long just get it like do a bunch like I said do a bunch of these Basics and you'll be totally fine I'm being overly pedantic right now but it's my it's my

[01:32:22]   stuff I want it to look good too and that's okay it's also just like more practice the the more you rework this stuff the more practice you get Co power says if your shotter joint

[01:32:37]   is citt enough shitty enough it will Reflow on its own that's true all right so one more time we're going to do this guy I'm going to just add a little tiny bit more flux it has had enough time to cool down a

[01:32:57]   little bit clean the tip of the soldering iron I just I can't get the twe the camera is like exactly in the way of getting the tweezers in here hold on let me I'm going to let me just do this

[01:33:14]   properly real quick and then I'll bring the camera back in to show it to you I've never found a way to do good quality work with a camera in here it's just there's too much

[01:33:30]   going on I would need some I I would basically need a camera person I would need someone to operate a camera over my shoulder with a zoom to be able to do good quality work on camera and that's

[01:33:46]   just not in the budget it's not in the non-existent budget so I'm going to get this into the exact position that I want it this time again this is me being overly

[01:34:08]   pedantic but I want to show you the the sort of best case scenario here rather than like what I'm able to do with everything in the way tin the tip of the soldering

[01:34:20]   iron and now get this this guy in here at the right angle this time well now I've got too much solder on the joint I would much rather have too much solder than not enough

[01:34:40]   though previously it was actually just about the right amount again this is getting overly insane but from a technical standpoint you want the joint to be

[01:34:56]   convex not concave I might have those words backwards but you technically want the solder joint to look like this and then roll up over the the wire in a way that you can actually just barely see

[01:35:09]   the individual strands which is what we had a second ago you actually don't want the solder joint to be like a big ball like this but the big balls look better and again it's not going to make any

[01:35:23]   actual difference if you have enough solder on there to where there's no sharp edges the if you if you spend here here's the long and short of it if you spend your time trying to get the solder

[01:35:35]   joints to look like this you have a much higher chance of the solder joint actually looking like this and this is what you don't want the the margin for error of the solder joint

[01:35:50]   being perfectly like this versus having too much of an angle here and having not enough solder is a much worse scenario than adding too much solder to where it's balling up like this if it's balled

[01:36:07]   up like this there's no chance that you've got this situation where the solder wraps under and then goes out and so in my opinion don't try to get the solder joint like this get it like a big

[01:36:20]   ball of solder and then chances are it's going to be stronger if you get it absolutely perfect that's the best case scenario that's the least amount of solder but you're running such an an

[01:36:33]   there there's just too much of a chance that this is going to turn into and that's going to decrease the strength so when when you look up like best ways to solder they're going to talk about

[01:36:44]   how this is what you want convex not concave again I might be reversing those but don't do that get a nice big ball don't have a big ball of solder to where it's like going out on the pad that's

[01:36:58]   too much but have enough solder where everything is nice and smooth and so when I say everything is nice and smooth this is what you want it to look like there's no sharp edges

[01:37:16]   the sharp edges are what happen when there's not enough solder you want it to be nice and smooth all the way around okay that's what you're going for let me try to do this last one with

[01:37:36]   the with the with the camera in position so that you can see it so we're going to I'm going to put the nerd goggles on first concave goes in so you want it so technically speaking you want

[01:37:49]   it concave not convex but realistically just make it convex and convex is a dome make it convex because that means that there's much less of a chance of you having a

[01:38:04]   pocket of no solder which decreases the strength all right little bit of flux get the wire into position which is the really frustrating part when this camera is

[01:38:34]   here that's pretty good there though I got that pretty good tin the tip of the S if you're starting out tin the tip of the soldering iron every single time just pick up a little tiny bit of

[01:38:45]   solder it's super helpful it helps it transfer heat a lot faster put push down the smoke is a good thing that means the flux is burning off I can okay I'm going to talk about that

[01:38:59]   in a second I hope you guys could see that hold it nice and still all right the reason why the the tip of the soldering iron has like a flat part you want to use that flat part the the the soldering

[01:39:21]   iron the the the standard soldering iron tips they're rounded on the outsides and then they're flat on the top and bottom I love using those if you need a sharp point you turn it sideways

[01:39:33]   and you use the rounded part but usually you're going to want to use those little flat parts and so you've got a round wire right and then so you've got this flat soldering iron on the round wire so

[01:39:45]   if you look here that you just have this tiny little contact patch that's not going to transfer heat quickly enough so by taking the tip of the soldering iron down onto the the the the fresh

[01:40:00]   solder if the tip of the soldering iron is clean it's going to put heat into that solder and the solder is going to travel towards the Heat and you're going to pick up a little ball of solder on

[01:40:11]   the tip of the iron if you take that little solder ball which is liquid now and you push that down onto the wires instead of this tiny little contact patch it's going to wrap wrap around the

[01:40:24]   wire and that's going to dump the heat into that wire and then into that pad what I hope you guys just saw is that I did that and then I put that down onto the wire it dumped the heat into the

[01:40:37]   wire I I first saw the the tinned wire the solder on the wire go liquid but for whatever reason the pad wasn't getting enough of a contact patch that's why sometimes I'll push down a little bit on

[01:40:53]   the on the wire two reasons I do that first reason is to try to transfer the heat a little bit better you've got individual strands of wire when it's round when I push down it's going to

[01:41:04]   flatten them out and that's going to help it transfer heat to the pad the second reason I do it is that flattening those wires out is going to give it more of a contact patch but what I hope that

[01:41:16]   you guys just saw is that the wire flowed first the wire transferred from a solid to a liquid first but it didn't transfer enough heat into the pad for the pad to flow when when I say flow

[01:41:31]   when we say flow what we mean is the solder transfers from solid state to liquid state and you have to have that happen it has to flow the wire and the pad have to

[01:41:45]   flow together for you to get a strong solder joint the weakest possible solder joint is if I hadn't been patient and if the wire had flowed but the pad didn't there would

[01:41:59]   have been a tiny little spot on the bottom of the wire where the pad would have flowed and so that if I'd been impatient and I hadn't been watching the pad to see it turn to a liquid I could have

[01:42:14]   just held it on here oh the wire just turned to fluid we're F liquid we're fine pull the heat off Let It Be that that would have had a tiny little solder joint down here at the bottom but

[01:42:28]   that would have been really shitty from a strength and from a conductivity standpoint that is worst case scenario it would have held on I could have then taken the wire and pulled on it and it

[01:42:38]   would have been it would have been okay but if you look at it what you want to see is the wire to flow and turn to liquid and then be patient maybe put a little bit of pressure on it and then

[01:42:50]   you'll see the pad flow and then what you really want to see is for that whole joint to become one big solder blob right you want to be giving it just a little bit of pressure you want to give

[01:43:03]   it time all the heat goes together and everything becomes the same temperature everything becomes like 700 degrees Fahrenheit the FL the the solder can flow together and now when you remove

[01:43:18]   the heat the the solder is not going to try to like make that Hershey Kiss shape because everything is the same temperature solder flows towards the heat if the pad if the work is a lower

[01:43:31]   temperature than the tip of the soldering iron when you remove the soldering iron the solder will chase and it'll make that that little Spire that little Hershey Kiss You don't want that

[01:43:42]   if that happens you want to get back on this pad and you need to get more heat into the work you want the work to be the same temperature as the tip of the soldering iron if it is is the solder is

[01:43:54]   not going to chase the soldering iron tip it's all going to be the same temperature you're going to remove the tip and it's going to stay a nice smooth ball of solder on there that's a super

[01:44:05]   common problem is that you get these spikes on all of your solder joints the problem is you've not put enough heat into the work the solution is to be more patient the other solution though is to

[01:44:19]   use flux that's going to happen all the time if you're not using enough flux if you're still on the solder joint and there's no smoke left there's no smoke coming off of it all of the flux has

[01:44:34]   burned off when all of the flux has burned off it immediately starts to it immediately starts to oh you son of a you've said this word 14 times today already oxidize it's starts

[01:44:51]   to oxidize and when it oxidizes the heat transfer gets all weird and angry and that's when you'll start to have the solder chase the tip of the soldering iron if you're

[01:45:02]   having a really hard time with that one of the other ways you can get around it is instead of lifting the soldering iron up off the work you can kind of slide it sideways off the work it's

[01:45:15]   hard to do in this scenario because I've got the pad here and then the wires coming in at 45 there's really nowhere to slide it off if you're if you've got a pad on the

[01:45:26]   outside of a PCB and you're soldering the wire on from the inside how do I not have an example of this like everywhere if the wire is coming from the ins if if the pad is on the outside

[01:45:46]   of this is the outside edge of the PCB and you're bringing the wire in like this that's super easy you put the tip of the soldering iron you get all the heat transfer and then you just slide it

[01:45:58]   outwards and that'll prevent that from happening but really you want to use flux before you get onto the joint you want to be as quick as possible and then you won't have that

[01:46:10]   issue that's a like I said that's a super super super common thing this is a pretty good solder joint again ever so slightly too much solder but you can kind of see

[01:46:23]   the individual strands of wire also what you don't want are like holes you don't want like little craters in the solder that's not good so these three are pretty good a

[01:46:39]   lot of times after the live streams I come back and redo everything because it's just again having the camera so close I can't hold the wires right I'm kind of like in there but

[01:46:50]   that's actually pretty good I just threw an awful lot at you I I I tried to keep up on the chat I'm going to leave it there this is soldering 101 we we kind of got into

[01:47:05]   some soldering 102 kind of stuff but that's enough after you get done with the work 5x Loop if you if you squint like a pirate you can hold it in your eyeball if not just hold it with

[01:47:23]   your fingers look at the work look for the smoothness the smoothness is the most important part you don't want any AGR Crag looking going on in there who whose brain just completely

[01:47:39]   imploded what other 40-year-old's brains just completely imploded when I said aggro CAG any of you whose brains imploded do you remember what show that's from you don't want any aggr craggy

[01:47:57]   you want it to be a nice and smooth solder joint that is one of the most important things is that it's nice and rounded and nice and smooth they don't all have to be shiny if they're dull but

[01:48:10]   they're nice and smooth that's okay if you want to take them from dull to shiny so that they look better and they're technically a little bit of a better joint it's less oxidized you're just

[01:48:23]   going to add flux just rework it just put a blob of flux paste on top get your tweezers perfect hold the wire exactly where it is apply the Heat Big puff of smoke let the whole thing flow let the

[01:48:36]   whole thing turn liquid remove the heat source and then it'll be and then it'll be nice and shiny was it guts I actually don't even remember this show I remember it was on

[01:48:49]   Nickelodeon was it guts Nickelodeon aggro crack I don't think was it guts it was the it was guts that's right there's the aggro CAG I love this showso the

[01:49:09]   you had to climb this thing look up Nickelodeon guts oh my God that's the award that they won right the Agra Crag from Nickelodean guts Asbergers and autism forum resurrecting the guts aggr you

[01:49:27]   had to climb the damn thing oh man guts bro 3D printed aggro CAG with LED light now we're talking oh man the the 80s when TV was TV all right let me let me scroll up

[01:49:52]   and get caught up on chat and that'll bring us to the end anybody learned something Gastly FPV says I'm currently trying to reinstall motor plugs on an X12 AIO after I directly soldered having

[01:50:14]   a terrible time getting the holes cleaned up enough to get them back in any tips yes this is diving into like soldering 102 but great question through holes so these are flat pads

[01:50:27]    pads are weak they're glued to the PCB that's sucks through holes are super strong they drill them and then the pad is like the entire inside of the through hole and then there's a little bit of a

[01:50:40]   lip up on top through holes are so much stronger you always want to try to use them if you can the problem with through holes is getting them cleared out getting the solder out of them Tech

[01:50:52]   techically you don't need to though if you're if you can get your wire if you can get the individual strands of wire nice and bundled up and then if you can the the Omni

[01:51:05]   fixo helps a ton because with the Omni fixo it's got so much like dexterity and movement that you can hold the PCB vertical in a way that you can put this is hard to do this is why this is

[01:51:23]   soldering 102 this is tough but if you hold the PCB in a way that you can see the bottom of the through hole but you can also bring the tip of the soldering iron in on the opposite

[01:51:39]   side of the board accurately and hit the right pad you can bring that soldering iron and hit the pad it'll put enough temperature into the through Hol for everything to go

[01:51:53]   liquid you can then feed the the the wire into that hole into the through hole since it's liquid it'll push the solder out and you'll be good to go the problem with doing that is a lot of

[01:52:05]   times when you do that one little rogue strand of wire will not go through the hole and then and it'll 90 Dee and it'll try to bridge to another pad it's really hard to do it that way but it's it's

[01:52:17]   totally possible to do it that way the better situation is to get your solder braid and to remove as much solder from that through hole as possible so you put the board flat you take your solder

[01:52:33]   braid you tin the tip of your soldering iron you get the solder braid on that through hole you bring the heat down and the the solder braid will Wick this is also called solder Wick it will Wick

[01:52:46]   up a bunch of the solder out of that through hole sometimes the through the the factories use Le unleaded solder which sucks we use Leed solder which works much better

[01:53:01]    sometimes when those two mix together it'll be hard to get that unlet solder out of the through hole so sometimes what you have to do is solder Wick it you'll see when the solder Wick stops

[01:53:14]   wicking up solder It'll like Chase up the wire and then it'll Chase up the braid and it'll just stop get it off of there if it's not cleared out you'll have to add some leaded solder so you're

[01:53:26]   going to Tin that pad bring the the tip of the soldering iron in push some fresh leaded solder into there until there's a bunch in there get the solder Wick back out rewick the joint sometimes I have to

[01:53:38]   do it three times this happens a lot on the the power leads on HappyModel boards they'll have a whole bunch of the unleaded solder in there and I'll have to keep pushing leaded solder in

[01:53:52]   for it to mix and then removing it's frustrating as hell it's really good practice though if if you can figure that out all of the rest of soldering will be super easy but

[01:54:07]   that's the long and sure of it technically speaking if you have a small enough drill bit you can actually drill that out but it has to be a really small drill bit if you drill it out too big

[01:54:17]   you'll ruin it so that's like Last Resort but that's the deal that's tough to deal with but the the solder braid and Patience are the way to go and typically again the problem is that

[01:54:33]   there's a bunch of unlet solder in there and unlet solder just blows kle saer says what's up been flying 31mm HQ by blades and wow are they different from the 129s that came with the air 65

[01:54:45]   fragility aside I think I like them more they're super lightweight super lightweight gonan say FYI your Sunday event in Discord is off by an hour why is

[01:54:57]   that why is it at oh because of the time change everything is probably off in Discord for some reason Discord doesn't after every set the clock's back I have to go in and fix all

[01:55:10]   the Discord events that's stupid look tomorrow's event is now at 11: PM Discord get it together all right I'll I'll have to forget to do that and then you guys can remind me

[01:55:25]   again next time the turbo says thanks for notifying me just now YouTube that this was starting sorry I'm late did everyone miss me I wonder if even YouTube didn't get the time change

[01:55:37]   memo bad says another great feature on the omniix show is you can use it to deliver power to an item I use it when I prototype I guess you can I'll be damned that's pretty cool you would just

[01:55:54]   remove the little the little silicone jibjabs off the Jaws right that's pretty slick I didn't realize that damn it'll even deliver power through the base won't it that's super

[01:56:09]   cool Omni fixo is well worth it 20 30 bucks do it danzel turbo says oh we got that thanks again for the Super Chat beo thrash F says you got to hold the we talked about that Allison says can you

[01:56:23]   quickly explain the difference in 1102 and 1103 motors from senior citizen FPV Stater sizing is width height 1102 or 1103 Stater W the the width of the motor the The Wider a motor it does add

[01:56:44]   power a little bit of power but it mainly adds better cooling so the wider the motor the cooler it's going to stay the taller the motor the more power it's going to make

[01:56:58]   the the the taller the motor adding height to a motor drastically increases the amount of power it makes it actually doesn't it barely if at all increases its cooling actually it makes cooling

[01:57:15]   worse wider Motors make cooling better cuz they add a little bit of power but they significantly improve Pro cooling so going wider and wider and wider is going to make the motor run cooler and

[01:57:27]   cooler and cooler going taller is going to make the motor run hotter because going taller adds a lot more power but a little extra Cooling and so as a motor gets taller

[01:57:42]   it's going to run hotter but it's going to make more power the ideal ratio of width to height is between three to one and five or six to one five or six to one if you're picking up a heavy payload

[01:58:00]   a big heavy camera three to one if you're building a really like perform really aggressive performing rig like a racing rig or like a really hardcore freestyle rig The Wider the motor it is

[01:58:14]   the more weight you're adding and the less power you get for that weight so a three to one ratio is for like a really aggressive it's going to get a little bit hot but it's not going to get

[01:58:28]   too hot kind of motor five or six to one is never going to heat up even if you're picking up a massive camera or payload or whatever so 1102 2 46 8 10 and a half 11 that is

[01:58:47]   a very wide motor that's a motor that's going to stay cool all all the time also 1102 is like the right the the best motor Choice sort of for 1S 75mm or

[01:59:08]   um 75 MIM motor to motor 1.6 in prop which is 40 mm prop or 45 mm prop builds 1103 36 9 12 so 3 and 1 half to 1 3 and 3/4 to 1 that's a much more aggressive motor but it's a much more powerful

[01:59:31]   motor and it can handle a bigger propeller it can handle a 2-in propeller a 2 and 1/2 in propeller a heavier more draggy propeller a lot of times at that point we're we're we're up on 2S

[01:59:46]   so the actual difference between those Motors is the width is is the the height right they're both 11 mm wide but 2 mm tall versus 3 mm tall but I just dove into it a little bit

[02:00:00]   deeper as to what there are different scenarios where you would run those Motors basically 113s are for 2in props 2 and half inch props 1102s are for 75 40 mm or 45 mm props which is 1.6

[02:00:16]   or 1.7 inch the enzel the terrible says flag the rim light that would have helped with what I was dealing with in that moment which was the reflection off those joints all

[02:00:28]   foxis says where you install the flux capacitor it's inside the soldering iron Coal Power says if your solder joint is shitty enough it will Reflow on its own Curtis hay says I like I like to

[02:00:40]   see per battery cell voltage so I put battery average cell voltage in the HDD it shows better voltage the sum instead of the average per sale ideas I do the same thing I I've I've been

[02:00:53]   preaching that for many years there's another huge Advantage which is that it gives you two decimal points if you use the regular battery voltage the full battery voltage in your OSD it's going

[02:01:07]   to give you like 24.1 volts if you use the average battery voltage OSD item it's going to give you 3.56 volts and then 3.55 and then 3.5 4 and so you'll get to see it getting

[02:01:24]   closer to 3.50 and so you'll have much more of a warning there so it also eliminates the need for you to try to remember the math when you fly a 6S rig a 4S rig a 2S rig a 3s rig so

[02:01:38]    in your OSD always use the average I think in the OSD it's menu It's called average cell voltage it's going to take the full voltage and divide it by the number of cells for you so that when

[02:01:52]   you take off it says 4.35 or 4.2 and then when you when you see 3.50 you come in and land no guess work and more detail theilla turble says hire one of the kids as a second camera operator pay

[02:02:05]   them in Fruit rollups good luck with that dest says concave goes in Co power says I clocked that every with Bruno says thanks for all the info I was practicing while listening nice

[02:02:18]   bad says guts Co power says the name of the show escaped me but I saw their live show like 30 years ago Mike Allison says please it's solder not solder there's an L in there dude it's hurting

[02:02:33]   my ears so Mike if I say it solder then every single person in the us will lose their mind and the majority of my audience is us-based so I say it like a cheeseburger munching Hot Dog

[02:02:47]   Eating amican but for for a while I pronounced it solder just to be funny and the amount of Americans that freaked out has been way higher this is maybe the first time a

[02:03:07]   European has freaked out which makes sense we're we're we are way more entitled in this in in cheeseburger land here to think that everyone else should do everything the way that we do

[02:03:20]   it because we're each each individual one of us is right about everything all the time so I will continue to pronounce it solder because that will cause the least amount

[02:03:32]   of comments that I get and really that's what it's all about is just taking the least from you guys whatever I can do to get the least amount of criticism and hate not that

[02:03:48]   it's really hate but what I mean MCA says hello gangle is from Davis California home of the Aggies just got here goodbye LOL Mike Allison says I will buy you at least one

[02:03:59]   coffee if you say solder I will always for fun say solder but I don't dare continue to say solder if you want to hear me say pronounce it solder for many years go go like two three

[02:04:13]   years back in the live streams and I and I I said it that way just as a kind of tongue and cheek for a long time but then a whole bunch of people were like dude for the love of God stop

[02:04:26]   pronouncing it like the Brits bad says yes to deliver power to attach the wire to the base cut out and place the Grabber ring on the cutout on the base that's awesome that is super

[02:04:38]   super super slick like Allison says thanks dve s says I got 64d D for durometer TPU do you think it will work better for whoop canopies I have not tried it yet if 64 is a higher

[02:04:53]   so I think the normal TPU I think normal TPU is 995a I don't know I I forget how the the shore hardness scale works but if 64 is harder than 905 or 9 whatever the hell it was 95

[02:05:13]   then yes it'll it'll work better for the canopies for whoop canopies for sure Curtis hay says that's the problem buug I put average cell voltage and it's showing the full Voltage oh no that's

[02:05:23]   weird I've never had that happen I've used average cell voltage for six or seven years maybe longer than that and I've never had that happen that's super weird brand says my buddy only uses

[02:05:36]   total voltage and has warnings turned off so I always overd discharge packs on his rig when I fly it to tune that sucks Cole power says and now I want a cheeseburger Alex Le Hughes says say

[02:05:49]   it Frenchie say chowa oh God what's that from oh what is that from say it Frenchy is that from the boys no no what is that from is it the Simpsons oh God it's The Simpsons man I I watched The Simpsons

[02:06:12]   growing up and then I I stopped watching them SMY or SMY with the last comment of the live stream he says which screws should I use for mounting egg IO plus walks o4 plus canopy on the frame is it

[02:06:25]   m1.2 m1.4 I have a hard time finding ones which are long enough either or either M it is The Simpsons the Tito thinks it's the boys though m1.2 or m1.4 will both work in tiny whoop frames

[02:06:40]   the the plastic posts in the frames are like they're kind of like M 1.3 so so you can use 1.2 or 1.4 I use m1.2 on my Etsy which is linked from C fv.com I have for sale m1.2 by2 and

[02:07:05]   m1.2 by14 and in the description it explains that if there those are specifically for double Stacks AIO and then VTX on top if your double stack is is using regular grommets that are the

[02:07:24]   same height on top and bottom on both then you can use the m1.2 by2 if you are using gromets that are taller on one side than the other on either the

[02:07:40]   VTX or the aiio or both you absolutely need the m1.2 by14 screws to be long enough to give you enough engagement into the plastic posts in the tiny whoop frame so there you go best case

[02:07:57]   scenario would be m1.4 by 14 screws but I haven't been able to find those I haven't looked in a week though let me let me check again M 1.4 by 14 this might be them

[02:08:24]   nope it's unbelievable how hard these are to find see it's always for whatever reason m1.4 always ends at 10 it's super annoying super super super annoying the m1.2 screws are just ever so slightly

[02:08:45]   too small and the the crash on that really hard crash on the live stream from Friday ripped two of the m1.2 screws out that wouldn't have happened if they were

[02:09:01]   m1.4 but I just can't find and apparently BetaFPV can't find them either they're they're supposedly having an impossible time finding m1.4 screws that are long enough it's it's

[02:09:16]   maddening there's see all I have to do is say it on a live stream and then it'll actually happen but see I actually I don't like these I I I I don't want these machine threaded

[02:09:38]   screws these threads are too close together I really prefer the the ones that are more like this the almost like self tappers where the the thread are farther apart

[02:09:54]    I don't know the M 1.2s that I have the threads are pretty close together but they at least have that pointy tip on them I don't know I am going to order a set of these

[02:10:14]   though coar threaded that's it thank you bter root I am going to order these cuz I want to see what the deal is is m1.4 by 14 oh God $22 that's getting expensive usually these are like really really

[02:10:31]   cheap hopefully there's free shipping at least looks like there's free shipping I've not had an on Friday's live stream that was the first time that I've had one of these things

[02:10:42]   rip out and it was a Full Throttle crash into the wall when I was frustrated so it's and I've crashed these things quite a bit so the M1 work totally fine and a lot of you guys have bought these

[02:10:53]   m12s from me and you've had good luck with them so there you go I was going to Lois hu says Simpsons where Bart skipped school and the only ones knows the French cook tripped

[02:11:03]   and wasn't assaulted but if he says something skitter knows he skipped school thanks for hanging friends my name is Aaron Ciotti everybody calls me Ciotti I hope you learned something today

[02:11:13]   and I'm glad that you are here SE fpv.one complain to each other as much as possible about how infuriating everything with FPV can be love you bye here's some more 2in

[02:11:33]   04 flying around while I was waiting for aelia to get out of talk therapy crazy wind lots and lots of wind I'll see you guys tomorrow night at 10 o'clock love you bye
