Ended up being a waste of time as the one I chose didnt give clean enough power to the Vtx

On my next rebuild it will be coming out and Ill use the space to fit the esc,s in. Brians excuse is he cant solder for s h i t and needed 5mm spacers to make some room
My battery fits in between decks so pendulum effect is not there.
Dang! Really? 5A not enough for your VTX?
Oh, I think I see... Unless you're running 4S, you aren't going to have enough voltage to get 12V out of that for your VTX or camera. It's a step-down only; you'll need at least 1-2 volts higher input than your desired output. With 11.1V nominal for 3S, that's 9-10V max out.
As for can't solder... I certainly don't suffer from that.
but I still thought that PDB I linked to above was a good idea. It's black, not purple, BTW.
On a related note; I just received this from Radio Shack:

It's pretty good clone of a Weller WSL base married to a Hakko ceramic 70W iron; at $22.47 on clearance, it's an awesome deal. Good enough that I put my Weller WTCPN away for reserve.
If you can find it at a store near you... they went on clearance for last Christmas, so not many left. My local RS told me I Got the last one in Tejas.
