Any tips on soldering an RN41 to a PCB? I have one connected on a protoboard with point-to-point wiring dead bug style but I just finished laying out a PC board for the design.

I'm planning on using the skillet method of SMT reflow with the module. It works fine for smaller components but I"m a bit concerned about using it with something this large since I'll be essentially soldering two PCBs together!

I just used a fine point soldering iron and soldered one lead at a time. I used liquid flux to make the solder flow better. It may be a little bit slow, but it works. A microscope also comes in handy for inspecting the connections when done.
