SOLDERING GUN CAUTIONS
Someone suggested that the use of a soldering gun was safer than other types because it would not roll off the workbench and burn you. It should also be mentioned over and over that soldering guns have a very strong alternating current magnetic field around the tip. When brought in proximity to electric motors and servos, this magnetic field de-gausses (demagnetizes) the magnets inside the motors and servos and causes permanent damage. I have seen several people come to the flying field with a new electric-powered airplane that does not have enough power for flight. When asked if they soldered the wires to the motor with a soldering gun, the answer is usually “yes.” Also you should never stick the tip of a soldering gun into the airplane’s radio compartment while soldering pushrods and etc. as it will presently damage the motors inside the servos. If you must use a soldering gun, you should stay well away from electric motors and servos, meaning at least 24 inches just to be safe

Your site is the best! I saw an rc airplane kit that I just had to have. The stealth jet is just the best plane to fly out there. It really takes some skill to maneuver but it’s so rewarding to get it up there in the air. Thanks so much!…
