    Status: offline     		Down.. ..sorry brother....needless to say...I'm not jealous!!..Hope you get over it soon....

    On the other token...are there any photographers out there that like to take pictures of RC planes??
    I have a very good digital SLR camera but would like to get the max out of it while taking pictures of RC planes!It would be nice to share some experience when possible

    I went flying yesterday. Although the temperature was chilly..there was very little wind and it was a blast to fly...at least...for me it was. One of my friends has a Edge 540 profile plane with a Magnum 4-stroke .70 engine in it! One hell of a conbination. What a beautiful acrobatic plane that is with super power! Although my O.S 61FX had some trouble firing up initially, she did fine throughout the day, providing the usual power for my T _ _ _ T. Then my other friend...he had his brand new Carl Goldberg Tiger 2 plane for the second flight day...and crashed!!None of us had an explanation why he ran it WOT straight into the ground. He stated he had no elevator whatsoever, but the linkages were still connected and his servo was still functional...Here are some before- and after pictures for you guys...

    I upgraded my starter to a Hobbico high torque one...my good ol' starter was not able to get the .61FX started through the compression.. I was due for a new glow plug igniter as well and found a nice XTM 2400NiMH igniter at the hobby store... Very nice igniter. I'll keep you guys updated with pictures since I am somewhat lucky to be able to fly still here...

    Everyone have a great holiday and a healthy, happy, and T***T full 2007!!!!!

    I am a professional photographer and do a lot of photography for guys in our fly club. Let me know what kind if infor your looking for and I'll see what I can do to help. Best reccommendation right now is high ISO (like 800) shoot your lens at it's widest apurture possible and have fun! If you get good, gou will have guys crawling up your a** (sorry Down, no pun intended) for picture on a fairly regualr basis. Doesn't bother me because I love to do it. I have almost as much fun shooting as flying. Well maybe not that much, but it is fun.

    I've included a few shots I've taken over the last several months. The sunset shot is actually going to be in FlyRC mag next month in the "Snapshot" section.

    Merry Christmas to all...and to all a good Flight!

    -Jay K.

    What camera did you take those with? I suppose it was a DSLR of some sort? Very nice shots!

    Status: offline     		Merry Christmas all,

    DownT Also sorry to hear of the whoa's,,,, I hope everything came out alright. My Wife also suffered a little getting sick Christmas night, But I think that was more from the Italian festivity of Sauces, Parms, Meatballs, Bread,, Etc..... over 2 days in a row, we hosted Christmas eve for her family, and we went to my Mom's for Christmas day,,, Hmmm,, Maybe the 8 or 9 bottles of Champagne had a little something to do with it as well. .

    Great Pics Jay, And keep those pics a coming, I am now officially living through All you guys, Maybe not, But my next 2 weeks are filled with other have to do's and I'm sure we will be snowed in by the 3rd week from now. We are suppose to get hit Today.

    I've also decided I am going to go ahead and buy a New T_ _ _ T .40 I know its against all I stand for, but I just have to have this plane fresh and new again, I think 2 years of glue build up and bent and curved surface control planes are fun to fly but I think I want to see what I can do with this baby all fresh and new. I have a couple of build projects going , so I can stay busy with those, I might even go for the 61fx combo you guys all talk about so much and Give my Bipe her long awaited 70-4 stroke. and I am looking for a great Jet kit now. maybe an F-18 phantom or Stealth....

    Take some Movies of the T_ _ _ T and post them here for me if anyone can.

    Fly on comrades
