solder small wire

[Phil]

Hi Alex

Yeah, I had the same problem with what looks like the same motor on my little quad. I used a point-tip for soldering on an Antex 25W iron, tinned the wire, put a little solder blob on the tip and dabbed it in place, holding the wire with flat tweezers. No problem.

Watch that coffee isn't too strong. You need to just stop shaking and not get over-stimulated.   :-)

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?
