    I have an MA in International Education from the 1000 year old Westminster School which moved to Oxford in the 1600’s. I have prizes in education from 3 governments around the world. I wish I could put a lesson together as good as you have done on this! Sincerely, congratulations! … I’m doing my first RC practice-soldering today. Thanks so much for your advice. Cheers!

    Bought one of these TK955's. I watched this vid and a couple of others and just jumped in. The TK955 is awesome and I love using it. Soldering was made easy with it's consistent temperature and accurate display. I will be honest, this soldering game is pretty easy when you know how and kinda fun. Thanks for the video, it helped with my understanding a lot and the TK955 you use is brilliant. Had my unit two days and after soldering about 3 times in my life (I am 50) in one swoop I soldered new connectors on 3 x 4s Lipos (EC5) and one ESC (X-Maxx). What a hassle saver it is learning how to solder. Thanks again for this video. Got away without soldering for over 30 years of RC, now I can solder too lol.

    Great video. one thing I feel you should have mentioned is that the fumes that come off when soldering is pretty toxic and having your head right over top should be avoided. I have a little desk fan I use to blow away the fumes while soldering.

    Good video Sir! It's amazing how soldering irons have changed. Now you can just get a Pinecil and run it off of an RC battery for power. It's both a bench and portable field use solution.

    Awsome video thanks so much glad I found this I struggled with soldering for ever, use to pay people to do it now I’m just looking for things to solder I think I was just overthinking it and the sponge and using larger tip seem to have made the most difference! 👍👍👍
