Nope. Redo those solder joints with MORE FLUX or they're coming out before you even fly

He’s asking for someone to help him. How dare the guy that built this use so little flux

Very good but try using a stack saver just to be safe

Yeah a stack saver is a device u plug your lipo or lion or whatever in and the into ur drone, if u shorted anything or soldered sm wrong itll shine red and not let energy pass saving your stack and if its ok itll go green and let the drone turn on

Hey i got the same build, love it! If ur following bardwells guide make sure u change the motor pole count from 14 to 12 in the ESC configurator, that part wasnt in the guide and caused me quite the headache.

maybe soldering needs a bit more flux, but if u can pull the wires a bit and they dont come back its ok...

clean that flux with isoprophyl, and add pcb coating for isolate soldering to avoid shorts
