Hello Martyn,

Welcome from me as well, sure you will enjoy the forum.

When I was in my teens I used to build and fly the control line (flying wings) type on Newcastle town moor, where the idea was to cut the paper streamers on the back of the opponents plane with your prop.  It was fun but the planes never lasted long, lines got tangled and crashing was inevitable. I was forever getting my fingers chopped when turning over the engines. 

Cheers,

Vic

Hello Martyn, I'm a few years older and retired. Never liked quartz watches, mechanical watches for me and high-grade clocks which is more my thing.  You should find lots of interesting things on here for you, don't be shy in asking questions and do take part in giving your advice. We all muck in on here.

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds,England.  Ask away. 
    • What cutter are you using can you video the action 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 
    • if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
