Paypal have refunded my money. I know people have a downer on Paypal but they have done ok by me.

Not only was it not “Brand New” it was actually broken. Thank good ness I paid via Paypal and should get my money back ….. or at least that’s what I am expecting…..grrrr!

It has stood by for so long with no use that it’s about time I moved it on.

All has now been resolved so normal service will be resumed whatever that means!!

In the last couple of days, the addition of a Netgear WGU624 and an XBOX 360, I think I have now achieved all I ever set out to do!!

 When I get sometime I will share with my blog readers the configuration I have. In the meantime I have written up the first part which describes how I arrived at the config in the living room.

It is spot on and enabled me to get spot on trim :) I now need to try it out with stages but I am very very pleased with it.

I have bought this wing for two reasons:

  1. It’s supposed to take away the head heavy feeling when diving twin Faber 12l tanks
  2. It’s meant to be ideal for twin Ali 80s

I get the opportunity to see if it resolves problem 1 tomorrow. Situation number 2 will have to wait a few more weeks

At the moment it is just a long list but over time I might make it a little more comprehensive with links to pictures and also with my views on the equipment….good points and bad points!!
