What's the best type of solder to use for Phantom upgrades? Is there a specific mix or brand that works best with the heat and vibration common inside the phantom?

I live in the US so something I can find locally would be best like Radio shack or Home Depot.

Thanks

Use rosin core. Very small to small diameter. Use a non-acid flux. Both are available through Radio Shack. Stay away from plumber's solder since many times it is acid core (causes corrosion on electronics). Use a medium heat solder iron - many available but a hefty soldering iron is not needed. I use a soldering station (costs about $100 but it is worth it if you do soldering - doubtful if you don't).
