    Apologies for the late reply, time zone limitations. I have already uploaded the FLY075.DAT file and the .txt files above. Got some good guidance. Gonna a have a look at the suggested places today and update if any luck or otherwise.

    I'll keep a mental note of this advice when flying again. Hopefully the same mini for a while before i upgrade. Fingers crossed. You have been really helpful and considerate. Obliged.
