HI ALL well operation wirein is not goin well as i can safely say that all the wirein i have fitted in the front section is correct so far
but the accessory's coloured ribbion wires have let me down as they are quite thin only about 4 strand wire an so far 3 have failed as they are quite fragile so that main hull jiont plug has to come out an be scrapped an also ive did some more tests with the circut tester an to my amazement ive found out ive made a b**lls up as these mini plugs can only fit one way round as i wired them up in the same order as the front an again to my amazement this is wrong as they should have been wired in revese of what ive done as when i fit the mini plugs in they all wires come up in the wrong order lord knows how i made this mistake but they will all have to come out an be scrapped
SO its now one step forward an two steps back but its just as well i did the testing or i might have damaged the R/X an thats 40 pounds worth so thats something gone right but as lately i have not been in a good frame of mind but i cant set about putting things right untill i get a new 44 pin male D-connector to solder all the new wires in so tiger is on hold untill it comes an myself i think what a plonker to have done this but i must admit ive never used these mini plugs before as i used chock block connenters in all my other ships but in my eyes no exsuce but it will all get sorted just gonna take a lot more time
chris the plonker lol

Chris lets say this once , none of us find it boring so please keep posting !
I think like most on here that your skills are way beyond normal modeling, the complexity of your build is amazing.
You've had other things on your mind and no doubt they have been the reason that the electrics have suffered.
Carry on mate.

OK CHEERS John an yes ive not been in a good frame of mind lateley but ive got to put all that back section wireing right but it will happen when i get that plug so today im just goin to concentrate on the front section an wire up the things that i know are right but im gonna use the circut tester fistly to make doubly sure things are right
