[TowerTalk] Cordless solder irons

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

I was prepairing an answer to wo ever aske for my source of the 
prohibition of soldered wiring in aircraft.

On section of 2b on page 88 of 
http://www.keybridgeti.com/videotraining/manualdl/25827.PDF .  I quit 
searching at that point as there are many documents referring to the 
installation of terminals.  It says Pre Insulated are preferred.  My 
mechanic says they are required.

Much depends on the section and the FSDO you ask. You'd think standards 
would be an absolute, but they often are determined by how whoever is in 
charge for your area interprets the applicable documents.

I do know, you can not solder terminals on a home built aircraft if you 
want it to pass inspection prior to flight.
