Winter build project: Wolfgang Matt’s ATLAS

Time warp - is it just me?

Jon posted the above message at 12.11 today. I just got an email at 21.30 telling me that this message was posted. That is 9 hours and 19 minutes after the event! I know you get what you pay for with domains, but that is incredibly slow. I don't think it is my AOL account per se, because I get notifications from other forums instantly. However, I'd be interested to hear if others experience a similar delay...and more importantly, is it something that can be done to reduce or eliminate the delay?

My Altas build it stall ongoing. Slow but sure... details here

Mike,
If you were a carpenter instead of teacher you could form the trailing edge with a razor plane !

Thank you for the kind endorsement of my building abilities

Looking at the current state of play, Mike has taken an early, yet strong lead, and after chatting to Steve and Phil yesterday, I'm possibly in second place, I say possibly because we don't know how John is getting on. Steve is gluing wood together and by the sounds of things the fuselage is taking shape.

Someone yesterday was having a go at me for making so many jigs to do simple jobs! Well, Steve, today I made a jig to drill a hole :woohoo:

I'm just dry fitting of the snakes and snake supports, I presume this is one of those jobs for epoxy, when I pluck up the courage to glue them in?
