whohoo, the whole impact.pri.ee site is now on a 100Mbit connection and can be seen around the world.
before that the site was offlimits out of estonia a few months due to the high sucking factor of the host and when it was open to the rest of the world back in january 2005 it was like 10mbit - lol.
$3 (€2.5) a month.
[the EEK is fixed to the euro]

The plans and parts lists are finally complete.
But, I have an exams-session during the whole may in school, so I'll start building the ATV in 1st of june, which delays the schedual a bit, but then again I can spend 100% of every day building it.

PS: Since it's quite hard to finance a project like this on my own, I'm looking for a sponsor - if You can help in any way, please e-mail to: atv@impact.pri.ee :)

The suspension test stand is nearly complete - the top and bottom parts are welded. I just have to make the brackets which hold the strut.

Because the whole weekend was filled with heavy snowfall I couldn't weld again. So I cleaned up a shed to store the chassis steel in it. Now I have room to spare, for me and the rest of the family.

Yeah, I completed welding on the bottom part of the strut compression stand.

Again I tried to weld - I got the build-area all prepped and carried all the equipment in place. And as soon as i plugged the welder in - It started to snow. Not good!
So I packed it all and started to wander around doing various tasks, I then found 3,5 meters of 50x50x4mm L-section steel, which is perfect for brackets and solved a huge financial problem (I originally wanted to make brackets out of 4mm sheet metal, which can only be bought in 2.5tonnes sheets).

Today welding turned out to be not an option due to a snow-storm. I hope the weather tomorrow will be more favourable.
