I use stuff from Fry's electronics. It has a small amount of flux in it.

Could not get what to stick? Are you using Flux? What type of soldering iron are you using?

Could not get the solder to stick to the tabs on the lipo battery, using flux and rosin core solder.

You've gotta get some solder that is designed for aluminum w/ a zinc core.

Looks like some great work on these blades. What size batteries do you use?

Thanks,

Jeff

To hover is divine, the alternative is rather PLANE.

YEs have a pair made for my 500 and going to make a set for a 600. I used a 50 mah battery on the 500 blades hardest thing was finding shrink wrap in a size and the weight I wanted to secure the battery. when the weather clears I will try to get pics up.

A 50 mah battery won't last long depending on how many LED you have. A 100 mah battery lasts about a half hour on 5 LEDs.

I know that but on a 500 I was concerned with the weight.

Started work on some 350's for a person who is interested. These are my test blades. The ones I build for others will be Radix 350s. Also going to do some radix 430's I think.

Should be ready for test flight tomorrow.

Thought people might want to see.
