  2. I'm selling a pair of Thrustmaster MFDs if anyone is interested

  3. Been learning to fly ROF all afternoon: things got a lot better after I realised my ailerons were operating the wrong way around. D'oh!

      Yeah, happily I did get about 6 hours - which was 6 more than the night before! It's something to do with the arrival of strong low-pressure systems setting off convulsions in my phantom limb....that's probably too much information! Thanks for asking.

  7. is totally cream-crackered from getting up @ 6.40am to finish the cockpit framing - but waahoo, I did it!

  9. I'm feeling miffed because all the components for my new pit have arrived EXCEPT the flippin' buttons! And they were the first things I ordered - grrrr!

  10. Ooh, a package! The postman has just delivered my Leo Bodnar circuit board and assorted high-quality switchgear and the Tripehound Mk.II comes a little bit closer.

      The excitingest bit is the P260P potentiometer, it's small and very well made, and it's going to replace the piss-poor solution I had previously

  11. I'm glad uTorrent has a 'Switch Off Computer when finished' option - and that all downloading between 2300 and 0830 is free with my broadband package.

      Excellent Brando, you're going to love it. Did you see my switch pannel that I have made with that circuit board ?

  12. nothing ; I just took a look and there's nothing on my mind at all. Welcome to 2011 :)

  13. JP - thanks M8 for your lovely offer to ride shotgun on my tail. I really would take you up on that - but there are other issues that make it difficult. Have a great time there - lift a glass for me - and welcome to my country!

  14. Full on here as we landscape the garden. I have a thousand bricks to lay, which makes me perversely happy....
