May probably interest someone, I bought these items time ago for RC hobby, and I really couldn't be more satisfied :

For less than $30 you have a Hakko 936 compatible soldering station with a collection of tips. I soldered my crack with it for a perfect jobs.

A few links to read about it :

I got to ask, what RC toys have you got?

I used to play with multirotors and more stressful helicopters, but I've neglected them recently, total available free time being finite, I'm now leaning to a more relaxing but also exciting hobby with these amps ;D

I see this post is rather ancient, nevertheless...

I was thinking about picking up one of these: Weller Whs40

Should it be a good station?
Figured I need a smaller tips than my current 1/4" weller 40 pen has for the Mainline (If You guys at Bottlehead have mercy and a Black Friday sale...)

I've been using the WHS 40 without any issues. Can't compare it to others as I never soldered before, but I have zero complaints.
