<font face="Comic Sans MS">One of the motors on my Cheerson CX10
micro quad copter stopped running. I took it apart and a red
motor power wire had broken off the board. </font>I just put the
dial caliper on it and it is only .020" wire! So any tips on how to
strip it? How about solder it?<br>
Well I put on a loup and used a sharp exacto knife to strip it. I
think I'll wait for tomorrow morn and a fresh cup of coffee before I
attempt the solder. There are a couple of fuzzy solder joints on
the board. Also I wonder if I could suck some of the excess solder
off to save weight? I guess one thing at a time, eh?<br>
The antenna is a short bit of wire bent into a U. It is insulated
wire and heavier by far than the motor wire. There might be a
chance for some weight saving there. <br>
All and all this little thing is pretty amazing and the fact that it
only cost $16 including shipping is just plain crazy.<br>
I got more spare props on order and a new airframe too. It's a long
supply train all the way to the other side of our little planet.<br>
