FET Transplant success! E011 is back in the air.












Tried last night and it was a flop. Tonight I hit it with the hot air station @420c and used a tool to hold it down and wrestle with it. Then I put a motor and battery on it while it was still in the stand. Last night I put everything back together very lovingly and installed a broken camera, only to find out that the FET didn't take.
I am very happy. It is nice to actually fix something for once. I have fucked some stuff up.
When the new FETS arrive from China I am optimistic that I will be able to reconstitute at least one more board. I have to investigate the pads on th oldest E011, it looks pretty toasted.
Anyway, fucking hooray.
