[AMRadio] Solder thread

[rbethman]

It is funny that the real fine solder I'm using is indeed the Ersin 
Multicore.

I have to admit that is has been the best solder I've used.

The other one is Kester # 43.  It is about three times thicker, but is 
used in work on my receivers, such as an SP-600 and an HRO-50-T1.

I haven't amassed a bunch of solder as some have.  I DO use the Dutch 
Boy paste.  It is still in the market at places like Lowe's and Home Depot.

I find it very useful for those old joints that need a little kick to 
replow.

I also got into Electric Quad Copters recently.

I use the Multicore on those ROHS controller boards when I have made 
some modifications.

I upgraded the Motor Units to a set with a little more power in them.

It is an interesting hobby.  However, you have to watch yourself and NOT 
go overboard.

Some of these "drones" as they have now gotten labeled, can get *very* 
expensive!

There is one person that shoots video for Hollywood.

He had one custom made, and sank $29K into one with 12 rotors. Then his 
Movie camera is around $31K.

Now I have to contend with the State of Virginia starting new laws that 
will have me finding new places to fly my 10 ounce Quad.

I can't get more than about 300 feet away from it, and I'm certainly NOT 
flying any where near aircraft.

Government needs to let some of this Hobby things alone!
