Poor choice of words [Shocked] The other way around. I leave after they depart and arrive before! I am surprised about the margin. Generally it is hard to catch up slower airplanes but in this case the difference is notable. Probably around 25 knots but that is almost 25% faster.

Thanks for the tip and sharing your own experience. Prior to 13 April, I confess that I=99d given zero thought to guarding my 3 critical rockers against closing them inadvertently while in flightneedles s to say, since then, I=99ve given considerable thought to doing so. Because the switches are so close together in the EXP-Buss, there=99 s insufficient room to mount the conventional guards and rearranging my panel is not a task that I=99m willing to take on at this timebut trust me, the issue shall be addressed as soon as I can wipe the egg off my face.

Cheers and best wishes for a timely rebuild!
