The tough part with that package is getting the large pad on the bottom soldered to the board. If the PCB has a lot of plated-through holes under the chip, that can help, at least with inspection after the fact to make sure that large pad soldered. Do you have a board preheater?

After receiving the AD9866 64LFCSP chip and reading about methods of soldering I'm not sure that
without additional equipment such as a reflow oven I'll be able to solder it. I have a Hakko

Before starting a the toaster oven conversion does anyone have a link for somebody
in the States that can provide this service?
Thanks Joe
