on the EDGE(540)

your suppost to land on the strip!![>:]

saleens7

wow, its perfectly balanced, im shure the electricity crew will get it down in fear of a power outage

NCIS

How high up is it?

It's just like a cat in a tree.

Just wait, nature will bring it down.

But; the next landing will be a little rough. [:'(] [&o]

saleens7

i got an idea, blow at it really hard untill the wing catches the wind and eventually comes down..

j/k, but is the rx still on?? if so, try to find a way to produce enough wind (or wait till a strom comes) and when the wind moves it off the wires, you can glide it down to a nice soft....uhhh...crash

Arrow IV

Saleens,
Dude too funny!!! How about this: go to HomeDepot and buy all the fans they have and blow it off before the batts go dead!!!


Looks a lot like that "I hate it when that happens..." thread.

Looks like a pair of faked photographs to me. The wire pattern is different.

Mr67Stang

These pictures are taken at different angles and the wires may apear to be running at the same altitude in the first shot, they clearly are not in the second.

Anyway... I betcha can't do it again.

on the EDGE(540)

this pic is not a fake how can it be when it shows the underside of the plane and the prop is stopped.

saleens7

well....get it down yet.?? i was gonna suggest using a pole...then i rememberd it was an electrical line....that would have hurt..

if you have an rc copter, you could just fly it up there, the downwash would unblance the plane would come down...

on the EDGE(540)

we tried flying near it to use the prop wash to nudge it off but it was to hard to judge the wires "as the pic shows" . any way it fell down after about 30 mins when the wind picked up. [&:]

Arrow IV

OK that's good, Well? Back to kit form or what?

Ingieuk

Hey nice picture! On the edge where about in the Uk do you fly from?

Ingie

stunner

FAKE. lol. u can totally see the lines were drawn in with paint. look at the pixles near the lines.plus the prop can seem stopped with a semi decent camera today.

rhowardsta

Well if it's not a fake, looks like the CG is spot on!!!

Bender101

Ok if you haven't noticed its fake. ITS HARD TO BELIEVE YOU CAN'T NOTICE THAT THE FIRST PICTURE HAS FOUR WIRES AND THE SECOND HAS ONLY TWO. Also look at the wire touching the pane in both pics. The first is between the landing gear and the second isn't.

Arrow IV

Bender,
Look again, there are four wires in the second pic and the wire is between the gear in both. That's just what I'm lookin at my man. Fake or not I don't know, nor do I care really it still a funny concept!

saleens7

well, i could be faked, but you cant tell without something else in the background..........about the pixels, when downloading pics to the web, the quality of the pic decreases, plus, light blue and black are contrasting colors and because of the decreased quality, the pixels are just more visible.....the pixel thing happened to me when taking a pic of my shockwave 36....the dark purple part of the decals on it contrasted with the white and made that pixel border around it when i uploaded it onto the computer...

glad it came down though.....so.....how many peices was it in???

Arrow IV

S,
Love that signature LOL!!!

Bender101

Well thats not what I mean. Look at the spacing... That obviously shows that it's fake and yes the pixels can show you. If the camera is bad enough to show pixels on the wire you think that the plane would come out poorly too, but it hasn't, even though soem edges of it do look cut out. Look at the flaps...

Mr67Stang

Wow, this guy is good... he even got the shadow/reflection cast from the wire on the underside of the left wing. A lot of effort to post a picture on a mostly anonomous forum.

Arrow IV

I'll have to agree. In fact I'm gonna concede my position of "Who cares its still funny" and give it up to the CSI team and their fearless leader Bender! Just jokes man you and your pixels win.

carmatic1

better yet it could be a flight sim screenshot...

Is this a fake picture ?

Its not fake.

The wire count in the same.

4 in each. In the shot from directly below, the wires look even, they arent. The wire on the far right is a tension wire. Its a steel wire run across the TOP of the poles...its a security wire basically that acts as an alternate ground in the event that the main ground is broken.

The two wires at the level hes got the plane on are probably telco. Generally lines are ( cable (lowest), phone (middle) and power( top ) ) The smaller would be a fiber line, and the larger a copper line, there is probably a fiber node nearby, thats why the lines are running together. The bottom is probably cable. See how in the side shot it looks the same as the smaller line that hes on, but in the under shot it looks bigger? its closer in the under shot, its below the other lines, thats why it looks biger from that angle.

If he were flying, the prop would likely be in a different orientation in each shot, but its the same in both, and at the rpm of a plane prop, it would be blurred. I good camera can generally barely get a stil shot of helicopter blades spinning at sub-2000 RPM, a plane prop, being more narrow and spinning at 10k+ rpm would be next to impossible to catch. Also, the only way the prop could have been clear with a good camera, would have been if the focus of the camera (distance) was dead on with the prop, if it were, the tail would be blurry.

Lastly, the jaggedness of the lines is an artifact of the resizing. Look at the wings (the highlights on the edge from the sun) .. just as jagged...

I love how everyone thinks they are photographic experts these days...
