Kudos. I would have eliminated the damaged connecter, strip, twist, tin and solder the wires directly to the FC. As long as it works!!

50 is like 25 times more than a couple ;) Soldering the wires directly can be a pain (just did so for a gps). Flux, magnifier, glue and many tryouts. Was a nerve wracking experience!

I mean… it worked… so, good job! I usually just solder the wires instead of fiddling with the plastic connectors. I actually remove the connectors in most cases, I just don’t trust them, vibrations and crashes have disconnected me on multiple occasions. I solder to the board traces/pads and UV epoxy over them. And usually silicone over that. I use heat only on non plastic components. I used to do connectors with a large knife tip (that covers all the pins at once) on my soldering iron but haven’t bothered with connectors forever. Try that next time it’s quick and easy. Make sure to use more solder than you think you need on the knife tip and it will come up in a second, you can always remove the excess solder after. I’m no pro, but this has worked well. I always get excited when you put out a video. I love the TUBE! Toooob 😂 I’m still excited to build one, and still haven’t started, I just can’t decide on the diameter of tube I want to use, or the size of quad.

Good tips, thanks! 6 inch is a great size for a Tubular Quad 😉

@@TimmyRC CNCMadness is in my neighbourhood I should just get the plates cut and put one together. Tubular always fascinated me, same with a custom layup which I will also do eventually.

Plastic and a heat gun doesn't work, you need low melt solder and a solder iron (high temp, quickly get in and get out). You could use the heat gun but using a quite low temp just to warm up the board.

a tap can be used to isolate the heat from the plastic connector.

Good work but Flux is your friend when doing stuff like this. Great job. Another thing to is add e6000 on the plug port to keep it in secure

use flux ans a smaller tip on the heat gun will work much better i have been doing this for 30 plus years

I could have sworn I've seen a video where this plug was (neatly) desoldered and removed without the use of a heat gun😉

shorter standoffs give less lever arm and may avoid them rotating in the joints and hitting parts inside not like I actually know that was the case. been enjoying a lot following the updates to the quad and I hope we get to see more

You're completely right. The Tubular Quad V7 will have shorter standoffs... if I ever build it
