To make soldering those FC boards just a little bit easier for these aged Mince Pies of mine. Ordered from Banggood 6 days ago, comes with lenses and batteries. Really pleased with it. .

Be interested to hear your thoughts on those magnifiers. I'm at the stage now that my regular glasses are for normal distance, I have other glasses for reading distance, and then soldering where I need to get close both glasses don't focus, so then I have to peer over the top, which means I need to get within a few inches to focus and my eye is close to a hot soldering iron... which may not be ideal.

I do have a lighted magnifier for this sort of stuff, but I feel a bit disconnected from my hands if you know what I mean. I thought maybe the glasses might feel like it's more connected.

This is the thread to complain about being old isn't it ?

Parts for my Martian 2 build.

So impressed with my Darkmax, I decided to build this while the weather is abysmal.

I also have a 4 in 1 ESC from Racerstar for a neat build.

I wish the wires on the motors were slightly longer, they won't quite reach....aghrrrrrrrr...

Mini Quick Change tool and post holder for my Unimat SL 1000 lathe. Needs a bit of modification but will speed up tool setting.

A Vortex 230 Mojo for a magazine review

On a side note, this is quite interesting as I didn't know Horizon partnered with IRC to create a BNF Vortex - so Spectrum owners are well catered for. Do I have a Spectrum radio.... no, receiver swap it is then.

Time I tried one of these micro quads, go this HGLRC XJB 145 RX ready from Banggood.

CurryKitten · January 21, 2018, 12:54:59 PM

Does that run 3" on 3 or 4S ? Looks pretty meaty, a shelf there for a session as well ?
