12 year insp
Hi. It takes 350 man hours to do the 12 year. We've just finished our second one. With the best will in the world you are looking at 3- 4 months downtime dur to spares availability from Eurocopter. PM me if you need more info.PS I don't think the owner of FB uses the forum.

theaceofblades, when I spoke to the actual owner a month or so ago after I saw an advert for it, it turned out it was a scam and JJFB was not on the market, I spoke with the 'seller' a number of times for amusement who was an african gentlemen with a twitchy finger that cut me off each time the questioning became difficult for him.

At least that explains the price 
Phone number starts with +44703... which i would bet is an ip-phonenumber routed to the african continent.
I have informed the website about the scam which is why i will not put any link on here.

Aux Power
Hi ttb,
I've done some research on this recently.
The plug can be ordered directly from EC for about
(from memory) 400 euro.
If its for a simple handheld GPS or so there a 2 euro alternative.
I have used this for several months to power a Garmin GPs, no problems.

Goodluck,
FTF

Thanks FTF
400 euro vs. $2?! Ermmm....
I've tried 4mm banana plugs (and 5mm), but they don't fit and wondered if there was some obscure design I need to look for. It's to power an iPad 3 (running SkyDemon) which works well but munches through its battery faster than Greek lady's beard trimmer.

Good plan FTF - my 5mm banana plugs are now 6.5mm banana plugs and working a treat... I'm using a 24v truck cigarette lighter USB charger thingy to cope with 24v input 
I did and thought it was good; I think EC found attendance a little disappointing (it was expecting 75+ guests, but less than half turned up), but everyone from the MD down was friendly and helpful. No hard sell, nice lunch and even nicer goody bag

Didn't turn up - but then, didn't get an invite.
I understand EC130 G-WCKD came as a static display. It's departure from EGKR was the first I knew of the day.

RWB2 - no, I use EBG at Redhill.
Eurocopter Oxford are, however, helping with my MRG which is currently vacationing in France at my expense due to a small amount of corrosion found on the casing during the 12-year.
If it was for customers of their maintenance then I can see why no invite.
Regards
John
