KDG Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Minor thread drift sorry. On our Tornado F3 fighter maintenance course we learnt about the hullyouwhiskyou, or HLWSCU, the High Lift and Wing Sweep Control Unit. An elecro-hydraulic box of tricks that sorted out the right amount of trailing edge flap movement in relation to how much the wings were swept. An SLA. Also a PITA to replace when faulty. Spent all night repacing one in a freezing hanger down the Falklands, for the replacement to also be faulty, and spent the next night replacing that one. Shouldn't join up if you can't take a joke!

Chris56057 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I thought decorated samples of these were due before the end of May, can't be long now till these are released? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since decorated samples were originally due before Chinese New Year and that would have enabled delivery of the production models by the end of Q2, I think we can safely assume that delivery has slipped by something like four months, so perhaps September if you're an optimist and just in time for Christmas if you're not so optimistic. Of course @Accurascale Fran has promised us an update once the decorated samples have been received and reviewed, so hopefully we'll get some stunning photographs soon and an update on the delivery schedule. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi everyone, We will have a full update on the 37s very soon but as intimated by another manufacturer in an official statement yesterday everything coming out of China is delayed due to post pandemic catching up. We will also provide updates on our other outstanding projects over the next couple of weeks and of course share them with you here. Cheers!

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted May 26, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 26, 2021 It must be very frustrating for you to have the delivery dates slip but that's life at the moment unfortunately - I can wait, and I'm sure everyone else understands too. Hopefully the finance side isn't biting too hard for you as slipping delivery dates means slipping final instalment dates of course (but hopefully the factories aren't billing you yet!).
