jaydor 345 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 cargolinx N739LG sitting on cargo7 @KPHX awaiting the flight crew: This flight will go on to KALB for pickup and then onto Boston. I am using Cap'n Mike Ray's 737NG training syllabus to get a better grip on my training and learning. Expensive @£35, but just about one of the best manuals available to the simmer.

Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Great shots, James! I am a Mike Ray enthusiast, since I think his visual approach to teaching is well-suited to most simmers. Well it certainly suits me, anyway. I reviewed one of his first books in PC Pilot magazine some years ago now, and he asked them for my email address so that he could thank me personally — a true gentleman. > Expensive @£35..... Hmm — you reckon? As I used to say to people who thought my consultancy fees were heavy. "Expensive, but worth it"! And anyway, have you see the price of the PMDG "Chief Pilot's set" of manuals for the 777? Reduced (!!) to $389.99 USD, which is just over £240. Plus shipping from the U.S., which is another £80, I'm told, added to which Her Majesty's delightful customs folk will then zap you with import duty and maybe VAT..... So I thought I'd pass on that one! Cheers, Bruce (Or brian747,from time to time). Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you Brian that £35 is not expensive for such good understandable teaching that is right down to earth for a simmer. But I will definitely pass on those PMDG manuals for the T7. I have done a lot of importing from the USA in my other hobby Model Trains and customs have me on a get James computer as I have had to pay for every one. That's 20%VAT plus 8% import on the value and to top it all Parcelforce adds a nice little earner of £12 to deliver it to you.. Link to post Share on other sites
