    Problem with Prolux Digital LED Thermal Sealing Iron

    in Gadgets and Electronics

    Posted

    Hi Murat

    I had the same fault as shown in your picture ( Er-2), I contacted prolux directly and was told it was a heater element problem and it would not heat further than 33° (which was correct), they advised me to return the iron to my local dealer or if this was not possible to contact there uk distribution centre, I did this and produced my invoice showing it was under 12 months old and they replaced my iron like for like. If it is helpful the contact details for the UK distributor are:- RUSSELL LEE (Customer services). CML Distribution Ltd,

    Gyroo!...an autogyro for under £25?

    Hi, 

    I've completed the balancing and covering of the blades. The covering isn't as bad as it really looks in the picture (honestly). I used a little gadget sourced from China to balance the blades would this be a correct way to achieve the balancing of "AUTO GYRO" blades, as it's supposed to be for helicopters, just a thought, your comments would be appreciated, thanks ?

    Hi all

    My name is Barry 

    This is the first time I have entered the foram with a question about balancing autogyro blades, I have read many articles covering this topic with interest, I am at this moment balancing gyroo blades, using the heavier blade No1 as the master, with blades 2 and 3 the lighter,

    To balance blades 2 and 3 to No1 blade I have been using pva glue, my problem is when I get the correct balance to the master blade as the glue drys the blade becomes lighter and so more pva has to be applied, this seems an laboursley endless procedure.

    My question is, could I just insert pins into the tips of the lighter blades to balance to the master blade or would this cause any problems???

    As you can see I'm new to this  and help  would be great fully recieved.

     

     

    Royal Mail Track and Trace

    in Chit-chat

    I had one of those cards a little while back, it works out as stated a VAT charge, the £8.00 is for a Royal mail employee to open the package.

    In my case, I made a purchase of £14.95 roughly, (but under the £15.00 limit for vat)

    The sender mistakenly put on the package label that the cost was £20, so incurred vat and handling charges.

    I disputed this with customs and excise and showed proof of my purchase order of under £15.00 which they accepted and refunded the vat I had paid.

    As to the handling charge, I had to contact royal mail (handling charges nothing to do with C&E) as to this they explained that the £8.00 charge stands as it was the senders mistake and I should seek a refund from them,

    As this was a china transaction I just bit the bullet and let it go.

    Even my local postie said it was a rip off and they get complaints all the while over handling charges

    I hope this explains the matter

    regards Barry
