soldering stub shaft

yes thank you all for replying to this add. i am familiar with the glue in method but i didnt really want to wait overnight. nevertheless i used some silver solder and a torch and it worked out fine. maybe next time i'll try the glue, but hey, i didnt really feel like the solder in method was that hard. plus it was ready to go 2 minutes later. woohoo!!!!

i have never had a problem soft soldering stub shafts & flexes together,
and never had one break,
the secret is in the flux, if you use couple of drops of phosphoric acid
in the stub to tin it, and tin the end of the flex,
and use plain solder, not resin core,
you wont have a problem..

Use welding or purchase a welded cable. That's all my suggestion after lost 3 set of propeller+shaft. They all took me nights to sharpen and balance!
