Default RE: ACE RC 4-120 BIPE KIT BUILD

I have a bipe on my watch list on ebay.  It probably will go over my limit be a guy can hope cant  he? 

So Cherry, I have done alot of soldering over the years.  To solder cabane wiring you will need a very hot iron.  I recently bought a mini propane torch from Lowes.  I used it to heat a nose gear wire so I could bend it.  It gets plenty hot.  And fast.  An electric iron will work but I liked the propane torch alot better.  Instant heat exactly where I need it.  You also need to use silver solder.  It can still have a percentage of lead, but the less lead the better.  It obviously costs more but it is worth it.
