<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>So I've received my new awesome Drone Lab 2.1 Black PCB + Housing Monday and started assembling.  I was really nervous at first because I have never soldered anything with much success.  DON'T BUY CORDLESS BUTANE IRONS!  But I followed the suggestions on this forum (thank you Casper and Alienmeatsack) and bought a proper iron, and watched a shit load of tutorials.  I was really surprised when I fitted my first resistor, heated the joint, applied solder and WHAM it jut flowed into the joint and looked really nice.  whew.  The capacitors seemed to give me more trouble but that may have been the fact that the ti got dirtier as time went on despite my tinner and wet sponge.  On what should have been my last build day I decided to push through the LEDs, switches, and pots instead of calling it a night and, to my horror, discovered I had only ordered ONE 1N-4001, from Mouser when the instructions require 3.  ARRRGGHHH.  So finally my question.  </p>
<p>Can I find these parts in some kind of local supply store?  I live in Houston, so I think it's reasonable to assume that some business somewhere sells this.  But since I'm a novice and don;'t even really know what a 1N-4001 does, I'm not sure what kind of a business to look for.  I can just order from Mouser again, but I don't want to wait another 3-5 business days.
