Winter build project: Wolfgang Matt’s ATLAS

Jon said

I will find the photos, that'll show you!

No need to provide photographic proof Jon there was a reliable witness. I was there and saw it happen, but it wouldn't have worked had the model not been equipped with elevons to provide roll control. And it didn't continue to work as the model was slowed to land and the lift provided by the broad fuselage became less than the weight of the mode! at which point flight ceased when it stopped being an aeroplane and turned into something more akin to a sack of spuds.

David, are you trying to suggest that you have no vested interest in maintaining Jon's reputation?

Anyway, it was nice that Jon got mentioned in the Hughes Fan Club Magazine , I mean BMFA Mag recently.

What do you mean

Exactly, if it ain't Chloe, it's you

Love it, to insult me you had to post the photo again :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:

Well done Chris. Of course to balance the article out it was deemed necessary to print Jon's "landing" elevating the winners satisfaction further. :lol:

Guys - When quoting, look at the quote text and delete the attachment line. There is no need to repeat the whole post again. As you can see this small error has now boosted the ego of the one certain person you were trying to suppress. :lol: :evil:

I'm still waiting for evidence from Jon that this fabled Mig with no wings flew, but anyway, today I heard another story, this time about a full sized F8 Crusader that took off with the wings folded!



You'd have thought someone would have spotted that. I guess even the "best of the best" occasionally have a bad day :pinch:

I assumed that you would have accepted the word of our esteemed honorary member Mr Tappin snr, but as you are so untrusting I will dig out the photographic evidence!!

I am away until Friday eve so you will have to wait.

Jon,Gromit will never believe it until you find those photo's.

Back in December on the 17th, after I'd delivered my witness statement, he said to me

Just remind him that I'm the judge who always rewarded you with the lowest scores, maybe he will accept my integrity then.
