Ken, I am currently working on building my KPA100. As far as the tip temperature goes, I have had to turn my temp up on several joints to about 800F especially on many of the ground connections, as the ground plane is very large on parts of the board. For comparison, I believe I kept the temp at 700F the whole time I built the base K2. I am using a small chisel tip, (I think 0.8 mm) and it is possible a larger chisel tip would help, but the pads for many of the capacitors are still quite small.
