Today I was speaking with an engineer at QuadcoptersUK.com as I was about to buy a Phantom 2. As I have read a lot of posts on the forum about Phantoms dropping out of the sky one of my questions was about the quality of the soldering. QuadcoptersUK are going to do the electrical work for me fitting an FPV solution and a DJI ISOD mini. The engineer sounded really surprised at my comment and asked what I had read. We discussed it but it was his opinion that the Phantom is a really well built quad. They are selling several a day at the moment and he had worked on many of them fitting upgrades and had not seen any bad solder joints.
He referred me to a guy on youtube called Bruce who has several very popular and respected RC model channels. Bruce reviews the Phantom internals. I had not seen this video before.
Anyway thought I would share as its worth a look and people may feel a little more relaxed.
I should just say that I am not in anyway seeking to dispute any reports of Phantoms becoming bricks in the sky.
