Hi.

I have just got off the phone with the supplier and done some searching on the net.
Since International postage is so expensive the price of the boards including postage will be slight higher than forespelled.

The boards will cost 43,00 each (all prices based on a minimum order of 10 boards).
Postage inside Europe

Europe Priority Standard
0-500 g. € 6,16 € 5,92
500-2000 g. € 11,55 € 9,62

Outside Europe Priority Standard
0-500 g. € 10,45 € 7,40
500-2000 g. € 19,95 € 17,76

Now I assume that the pcb will weigh about 400g when it is finished. this means that, after packaging it is going to fall into the 500-2000g catagory. I base this on the weight of my opencockpits master expansion board that I have here, the mcp moard will be about 2,2 times the size and maybe weight of this one!!

Based on the above I estimate the costs to be:

Inside Europe : Standard: Priority:
Per board: € 53.00 € 55.00
Per 2 boards: € 96,00 € 98.00

Outside Europe : Standard: Priority:
Per board: € 61,00 €62,00
Per 2 boards: € 104,00 € 105.00

Well, the price is minimally different to what I had initially thought.

If you want me to calculate shipping via UPS, please send me your address via PB as I need your zip/area code.

Just a quick heads up.

I have gone ahead and ordered one prototype board. Once it has been delivered I will photograph it and post the pics here so that you can see the quality (or not) of the board. Then we will decide on a date and count the hands, (at the moment 6x). As soon as we have done that I'll order the boards.

Well I have been inundated with work and it has been taking it's toil on the sim and it's build. Taking pics and posting them has also bene put on a back burner, .. anyway I have the first prototype of the FMC board in my possession and I am impressed.

The holes are are all drilled and the silver tracks look good. The board is slightle on the wide side and I have trimmed it to fit the FMC top plate. Here are a few pics,

after trimming the board and cutting a hole for the LCD wires etc.

I currently have orders for 55 boards, I am going to wait till I have orders for 10 boards and then I will order. In the meanwhile I will continue to build my FMC and post pics through the build, .. that way I will also discover any bad workmanship or hiccups before I order boards or take anybody's hard earned dough!

|Here the pricing info again, .. any questions, please pm or email me!

The boards will cost €43,00 each (all prices based on a minimum order of 10 boards).

Hi Capetonian,
I was checking off things on my to-do list and remembered this thread... did we make any further progress, or have we moved on?
