I have a friend who wants to solder up an SMT altimeter kit for rocketry. It uses many 0805 SMT components.
How difficult a task is it to hand solder such a board for someone with modest thru-hole soldering skills? Hard? Laughably hard? Doable if one skips coffee for the day? The site calls a 3/5 difficulty.
Any advice is appreciated.
Here’s a pic.
