There have been problems at passport control recently (something to do with a load of lay-offs to save money then oops, not enough people to do the job properly). Anyhow, the government are desperate that we don't look like disorganised numpties in front of the entire world (cos of the expected influx of visitors for the olympics) so they're sort of fixing it (although not by spending money - go figure). Depending on whose figures you believe, maximum wait times are anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours, but that is worst case scenario, and lots of people are saying that they came straight through. In any case by the time you come over, the measures put in place to resolve this little hiccup should be working properly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah, OK, pretty standard then. Jabo

Would it be possible to make that wiring diagram available here Delta? That could prove very useful if anyone else has the same problem. Jabo

If your feeling brave, you can get USB plugs and things from places like maplins, so if you can work out which wire goes where (there's only four), you could probably effect a repair. Worth trying before shelling out for a new camera bit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hang in there Jake and bear in mind that even if it's 'no' now, that doesn't automatically mean it's 'no' later. So if the news isn't what you want, come back and fly with us on Saturdays when you'll always be welcome and once we all know each other, there may be room for a different decision. Jabo P.S. I'm not in the founders group, so the above is just my opinion.

These guys are also authorised (and a bit cheaper if you're buying the whole thing) http://www.rcsimulat.../12?shop_param= In fact this is where mine came from. Which bit is broken Delta? the camera or the headset clip? Jabo

Perhaps your local electronics repair shop might be a good idea at this point... Jabo

I was thinking it might be a good idea, but I was going to wait until I know what the contents will be (if it's cucumber sandwiches (crusts off) and Bacardi I might not bother - on the other hand if it's pies and bottles of Spitfire...) Jabo

Very nice Mr P.

That's what we like FT. Optimism! In the meantime, a new photo of the P-47 and Corsair airborne at Duxford today; Plus the new 'Keep Calm and Picnic' box (contents to be announced) I would like to assure all potential purchasers that Jabo Enterprises are not involved at any point. Jabo

Eewwww. Welcome to the pound sfrost, I'm sure you'll find the place to your liking. Jabo

Lol Bongo. I've had a tootle about in it now including a few touch and go's and landings and it's a bit lighter on the controls than I was expecting and it will be nice to have some FFB but all things considered, very nice indeed. Jabo

Hot news in this month's edition of 'Flypast' magazine... 120-200 room hotel planned to be built on the airfield - hidden (it says here) behind the AirSpace hangar so as not to intrude on the view from the airfield. That'll be popular... Jabo

I reckon it's way past think Dave.

Might? Might? What's this might business?

Yay! Less than two months to go! Jabo

Tonar's right, that other cap could certainly give you a jolt, so be sure to leave the thing disconnected from the mains for a good while before working on it. Other than that, the size of the solder pads on the pcb might be an issue if you haven't a small enough soldering iron (and a steady hand) Jabo

Yes, I see what you mean. Looks like a blown cap to me. If you feel up to it, you probably could fix it yourself, depends on how confident u are. Jabo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How old is it Crash?

Just reading though the explanation of manifold pressure in relation to the Merlin. Lordy. Jabo

Thanks for the heads up Rog - Changing passwords as a precaution.
