Nice Fred  :clap:

Nice one Fred . Where can you buy those metal rods that the straps are  connect to?

[Fred]

Thanks guys. Hope that help someone  

Alan, the metal rods are just aluminium tubes.
Drilled in one end for the metal loop thing, and a plastic bolt at the other end.
Very simple

I see now, I just read your build log. I see Modellbau Pfeuffer make one for the Multiplex Cockpit SX as well. Excellent.

Has anyone ordered from here recently?

I get as far as

"Bitte wählen Sie die gewünschte Versandart für Ihre Bestellung aus.

  Artikel-Versandkosten
Unversicherter Versand nicht möglich. Bitte andere Versandart wählen."

or courtesy of google translate:

"Please select your desired shipping method for your order.

   Product Returns
Uninsured shipping is not possible. Please select another shipping method."

and no further, with no buttons/icons to press to select a shipping method.
I've tried this now with 2 browsers and no joy. If my german was better (not dependant on google translate) I'd try contacting them directly, but it isn't.

The german part of my brain has obviously not been exercised in a long long time.

Take your heart into your mouth and give them a ring Chris. If the guy who answers the phone doesn’t speak English I’ll bet you a ‘pound to a pinch of salt’ he’ll find someone who does.


Or, if that’s too stressful, simply email them. Again, they’ll find someone to translate. English language is taught in almost all continental schools. :wink:

Hi Chris,

Had a look, as far as the step before confirming the order, and no issues  :?:
Maybe pop him a mail?

[EI1638]

Maybe it was finger trouble. Usual excuse, it was late and I was tired!

I'll try again when I'm less likely to have finger trouble, before the third bottle of pineau this time.

[Fred]

Hhhmmmm, pineau...

Hi Guys.

I'm having the same problem to. I get the following message (Its from Google Translate).

"Product Returns
Shipping Uninsured impossible. Please select another shipping method."

But I can't see anywhere, where I can select another shipping method.
Any ideas.

Hi Alan,

I gave up. I reckoned if I spent much longer figuring out how to use the website I'd have the bits cut out.

Cardboard demo model cut out and notes made for corrections (since I'm not a CAD whizz like others we know), so I'm almost ready to cut out the pieces for real now.

[Fred]

Sorry, just seeing that now!

Did you sent him a mail telling him about your issues?  :?:

[EI1638]

Fred,

No, I haven't emailed him. I tried a few different browsers to see if it was anything in my settings (or not liking my not 'modern' browsers as google keeps reminding me).

In the end I decided it wasn't worth the effort. I've enough scraps of material lying around to knock the bits together in an hour or two, which would leave me with a kit of bits, which is exactly where I'd be if I had managed to order the kit in the first place, and I've already expended that much time staring at the website.

Besides, I've forgotten almost all of my "Deutsch als Fremdesprache" (German as a foreign language), well, apart from the essential, 'Ein bier bitte'.

Und Wurst mit pommes frites!  :lol:
