RE: Best scale photo!
I guess now's the time to re-post those photo requirements...
The photos should be the following...
A) The aircraft modeled must be that of an actual aircraft.
B) The model should be a "SCALE" model.
meaning...
It should look like the aircraft that is being modeled. If the real plane had strut and wheel covers... so should the model(it should'nt have music wire struts). There should be no rx antennas showing in the photo. If the real plane had a 3 or 4 blade prop, and this is a picture of that plane(model) on the ground? Then the model should have a 3 or 4 blade prop, not a Zinger 20x10. etc...etc.
Think of this as a kind of "Top Gun" of photo threads.
And finally, that brings us to the most confusing of the requirements of the photo.
...C) The photo should be "of an angle that you would actually be looking at the aircraft" or "as the eye perceives it".
...meaning...Don't post the picture of that beautiful Mustang with a guy holding it during engine run ups.
Thanks to all for participating...it's going great.

Hi!
Hope my Marutaka DC-3 fullfill those requirements.Span is 211cm, weight 3,6kg.
It's powered by two OS FS .26 fourstrokes swinging my own made 10x5 3-blade carbon fiber scale props .
Fuel being 15% Motul "Micro" all synthetic oil and 5% nitro.
Retracts are Swiss Giezendanner electric (25 years old).
Regards!

This is my Scale version of AirTractor's 802F-SEAT (Single Engine Air Tanker). It has a wingspan of 83.5", is pulled around with a Saito 150GK and a Graupner 3 blade 15x8. Flaps are in use during this shot of my plane doing it's version of a Slurry Drop on a fire. I opted to simulate the water/slurry drop using baby powder or flour. I couldn't find a full scale picture at the same angle. They both have rear horz stabilators on the bottom, wire gaurd from the cockpit back to the vert stab to ward off low hanging cables such as a power line. This was my first attempt at building a scale plane, and I know I have a long long ways to go before I'm even in the bottom of the list for this threads standards, but I hope it's close to correct angle of picutre and accuracy.

Good Job with the helicopter!
I've believe there are some totally amazing scaled choppers on the European scene.
Do you have any more pics and links to the relevent sites.
Try to find some and post them here.
The the fixed wing guys will be well impressed.

This picture was taken at the Royal Brokenwings airshow this year.
A Bell 206 Jetranger with a real turbine engine. It sounded like real.

hello blabla,
how about my Bell 212?

Come on you heli boys... where's the heavy stuff? Isn't there an English guy who is WC in scale Helicopters?
Didn't he get an invite to Top Gun some years back and blew people away? Aren't there a couple of Germans who've taken this scaling one step further?
Find some pics.
There's a guy at my club that has been preparing and flight trimming a Big electric chopper. It's just amazing.
Even though it's only the flying chassis, no body work, the sound is just off the scale fantastic!!!
It sounds so real... it's unreal. He's prepareing the classis to recieve a scale body and then of to the comps'
I think Electric has started to really revolutionised helicopters in a far more satisfactory and benifitial way than it has fixed wing.
They're so much more pleasant to be around, sound real... and according to the pilots of those .90sized e-choppers I've seen 3ding, perform just GREAT.

Hey blabla,
he's just leaning over to the back cause some guys in the back were giving him trouble...
Well, you really picked it up. I was kinda hoping you didn't . Shall I PS one in?
But otherwise? I think it's quite a good photo. Ok, you just can't do much about the model rotor head

RE: Best scale photo!
These pictures were taken at RAF Cotishall in U.K which is now sadly closing down.
The P47d is the yellow aircraft and is powered by ZG45 weights 28lb and has a 80" wing span.
