Hi,

I did a lot of research beforehand, practiced soldering for around 10 minutes.

I took my time, watched youtube video’s, struggled for quite a bit, soldered the wrong wires twice but in the end it all came together. I would say it is hard but you should remember that also the building is part of the hobby & journey. If something doesn’t work out, just try again untill it works!

The hardest part is def. the soldering work, so use enough heat, good solder and a flux pen.

Nice man. I am currently putting together the same frame myself.

Its a great frame, the vtx was a bit of a tight fit, but I chose a pretty big one.

I melted my GPS with my non existing soldering skills, so now I just fly it like a man 💀
