Sean,

Just curious.
Did you have your camera set to SHQ or HQ when you took the pictures? And how many megapixels is your camera?
I see a lot of digital pictures posted that have great color, like yours, but also have jagged edges on the wings and tail sections.
Its funny that, most of the time, I use HQ on my 3 megapixel camera when taking pictures of lets say my yard or pets, etc.
But, when it comes to an object that has very straight edges, it seems that you need to go for the highest picture quality you can get or else you get those jaggies.
I never really noticed this so much until I started cruising the RC Universe forums.
Some really great planes look kinda messed up.
I doubt that anybody builds their leading and trailing edges with a chainsaw, so I have to attribute the distortion to low pixel setting.
i just looked at the picture again and it seemed fine, perhaps its your screen resolution. its not perfect yet, i still have some sanding to do but my leading and trailing edges are smooth
