Was wondering if anyone had a type of solder they think works particularly well in RC builds. I'm going to be building my first quad, and looking at solder, I see a few different options:
Beyond that, I see a lot of solder rolls including a ratio like '60/40' for their rosin core. What exactly does this mean, and what ratio would be good for a quad build?
While I'm a beginner at choosing solder, I'm not a beginner at soldering, and would prefer something that would be durable over something that would be easy to solder.
And flux -- I've watched a few videos where people swear by using a flux pen, but personally I have never used one. Are they really necessary?
Links to where I can purchase the solder you recommend would be helpful
- Lead based
- Lead free
- Rosin core (flux)
