Cool! Any requirements to qualify, other than keeping it on topic and clean?

[Jim T. Graham]

Hey Brother Len
Imagine your photo in the ad I attached. If your photo would be something that represents RCGroups.com and looks great then enter it.

[Vintauri]

Is there a limit to the number of pics we can enter? I tend to take about 300 + shots everytime I got out flying with my buddies. :D

[BD Flyer]

I'll see what I can come up with :)

This should be fun :cool:

P.S. Does it have to be a plane flying or just something to do with RCGroups?

Tim

[Larry3215]

So far post 13 has my vote. Very cool pic!

Yak attack is second for me :)

Larry

[Eeeeky]

Rod,

Looks like a Maule airplane. ;)

Tim


maules, IMO dont look that fat (no pun intended) theres a maule at the local airport, great looking plane they have a fat fuse that that, but an amazingly long wing...theyre perfect perspective, and are a very ncie size...

[bc-slowflyer]

So far post 13 has my vote. Very cool pic!

Larry

I agree with Larry.

[Troy]

Even though this airframe took a loooong time to finish and is in 're-build' mode, these pics mean almost as much to me as the airplane.

[rchawks]

This is one of my favorite shots!

[rchawks]

It took some searching but I found another shot that I'm very fond of. :D Both of these shots I took at Rosecrans Airport in Elwood Kansas.

[BD Flyer]

Here is a picture of my Megatech Airstrike :)

EDIT: I forgot to say that this is my entry :o



Bill

[Eagleburger]

[Tommy D]

Here is a pic of my young son and I after a flight with my airfoilz yak.

Steve


There are a LOT of great photos on this thread… but the look on your son’s face… that could have been any number of us 20,30,40 or more years ago.

Steve as far as I’m concerned you win!

Great thread! Signing in....

[DIALED/CHUCK]

Do all entries become property of RCG?

[tor_kamata]

My wife took these this fall. Then I traded the TX for the camera :eek:

[Milton]

This is not my picture but has to be one of the best RC shots I have seen.
Maybe someone who know who took it could chime in.

Milton

[LBMiller5]

I can take credit for the plane, but the photos were taken by Jon Barnes (aka BARNESJONR) at the Las Vegas SuperFly V Event. These are cropped from the original photos.

That looks cool.

[LADDIE]

What can be buld for SPEED 400 motors.

[Mochaboy]

This was taken on the maiden flight of an Ultrafly Outrage 3D...It was about 3 in the afternoon. The plane had just finished a left bank turn and was returning just underneath the sun. Incidentally, this was also the first plane I've ever built and flown (can you believe it survived it's maiden?

Fine looking young pilot you have there, Buddy! (He'll be taller than his dad by the next event :D )

[echoplanar]

Lots of cool pics guys.

Here's my daughter in front of my 1:1 scale F-14 EDF. Don't even ask about the pack size needed to get this one in the air. :p

-Jon

[Spid]

Great pictures everyone!
Here's one of me flying my ModelAero AeroCat.

[daedaluscan]

Heres one of my depron Bipe before the BIG crash. My nine year old took the photo, and that is my eleven year olds homework written out on the rudder!

[staggerbee]

Fine looking young pilot you have there, Buddy! (He'll be taller than his dad by the next event :D )

[WarrrEagle!]

My favorite pics to date!

Those RC mags need more foam!

AND of course my little girl would class up the publication as well! :D

[Pat Daily]

Here is mine--the date January 6, 1934 a Monocoupe 90A cruises over Remington, Virginia.

[UBILDIT]

Buddy Greg McNair snapped this shot a few months ago. The plane is a Foamfly Staggerwing with a CustomCDR motor. Single stator special edition..really does great on this biplane. I was just getting ready to hand over the controls to my daughter...who was not even looking at the staggerwing... other guys flying helicopters down the line..LOL... and the prop spun off. Landed safely however, no damage... It's just one of the best pictures I've ever seen with people and planes in it at the same time. Kudo's to Greg for his photo skills. and ...yes I did photoshop the logo on to the daughter's shirt.

Bo

[Jack Crossfire]

As seen in the Blogs section.

[Mad al]

Here is a picture of me launching my glider

[UBILDIT]

O.k. so all you guys have better pictures. Mad al, that's a great picture... I'd almost like to have that one as a wall sized mural in my shop.. well done.. and that night flying thing ... way cool. Beats me standing there with my gut hanging over my belt line and my daughter not even looking at the plane we'er flying...

Warreagle... also a great picture..your daughter's a cutie..

[crashawk]

My first entry!


Hey! that came from my camera :eek:

that's ok, I posted pics of you, so we are even. :D

Jason

[crashawk]

a few more for your viewing pleasure.

Jason

[Theo coenen]

Just arrived at the flying field.

http://foto.modelbouwforum.nl/albums/userpics/10032/PA080045.JPG
This is how I travel from my house to the flying field, taking 3 models and all the neccesary stuff with my on the bike and in the trailer.

[crashawk]

theo, that kind of makes it hard to take anyone to the field with you doesn't it?

Jason

[Theo coenen]

Well, no, it is easy, I live about 600-800 meters from the field. So they can even walk to the field.

In the comming time I am going to change the biketrailer so it can also handle the 6 foot Electric Telemaster and other bigger planes.

[skorski]

#47! Who, what & where???
....................curious Mike.

[KiwiKid]

That pic at post #47 has been doing the rounds a bit. I last saw it posted here by Bryan Davison in the "Your single best model shot" thread. It is of Ryan from Carden Aircraft KE the Carden Extra down low at P/cola FL.

KiwiKid

[Mochaboy]

It's a nice picture to be sure...but that Photoshop'd sky is awful (speaking strictly from a technical perspective). Not only is that lighting effect impossible without some foreground fill flashes, but the warming mask/color filter applied to the sky was applied to the trees as well (and even then, not all of them).

It's like dumping a bottle of A-1 Steak sauce on a 10oz Filet Mignon.


***
But back on topic...my favorite so far are the morning shots with the slow stick and the bird...

[urs]

here is my son after taxing back after another good flight...aint modeling great.

D'oh!

Can't imagine the powerplant to get that sucker to lift off, much less where the battery might go...


:D

[malibu43]

Picture quality isn't the best, but I still think it's a good one.

Me my son (Cole 3) and my new Easy Star dodging trees at Hendy Woods State Park Mendocino, California :)

[skorski]

Thanks for the replies on #47,
now I can rest...........Mike.
PS, fly long and land softly

[toesup]

As RC Groups features boats too...
