then DHL said
:lol: :lol:

When I read the paragraph about your shipping issues I said to myself I hope you are not using DHL!

They are the absolute worst! I regularly ship goodies from overseas and out of the bigger shipping companies DHL is almost comically bad! Last time I ordered a stringing machine from Austria it went through SEVEN European countries before heading to SA. They are absolutely anal about shipments having to go through regional "hubs". I expect your mast shall be heading to France next. Fedex and co just sends the bloody thing directly if they can or with maybe one stop max.

Not to mention DHL SA not understanding the difference between a delivery address and an invoicing address. My home contact details are now the main contact details for all the international deliveries for our multinational company. Sigh. And good luck trying to get that fixed.

(**)

OK rant off. Hope you get your mast soon.

You only need two buttons on that overhead panel Greg. Take off and land! vhpy

Oh and a beer button. (^^)

And you should get someone to work in the garden for you then you'll find the time to finish your panel :lol:

Gee gas!

Glad they came through for you. Tried to retrieve my tracking log but it was already deleted.

Looking forward to seeing all the hard work coming together in the coming weeks.

Is it spring loaded to put some pressure on the tube to stop it from rattling?

Looking forward to seeing the document storage solution. I can echo the observation about it always looking like an afterthought. Best solution I have seen to date was where the seat folds forward revealing a dedicated storage space for things like the papers behind the seat. One does not need the papers while flying in a gyro so its a nice out of the way solution.
