Hey Logan!

I pretty much feel the same way after watching Garrett fly. Why would he bother to edit a picture?<g>

It always looked like to me that maybe he was even 10' away from the plane. He might have just wanted the plane to look really big in comparison to himself. It works the other way, too. In this picture the H9 Cap looks really small:

This was hard to pull off, trying to get everyone synced up in thier rolls at the same time

Also, keeping track of which one was yours was a bit of a problem.

Guess which one is mine.........

ummm all of them? nice try


David

Ya caught me David. We got back to work from some "lunchtime" flying, took a bunch of digital pics while there. I was stuck on about 2 hours worth of conference calls, so I started playing with the photo editor. Wingspan and I got "caught" by not being on mute while talking about one of the inverted pics. Was quite hillarious. I mean, I had to do something while at work

33% H9 CAP232/G-80, in "ground effect".

I thought that the plane's shadow looked wrong too. So, I drew some lines on the image to see if the plane's shadow was cast onto the pavement correctly. The green lines connect Garret's body parts to the corresponding parts of his shadow. The red lines do the same with the plane and it's shadow.



Without going into a lot of details, the law of perspective dictates that all of the lines that I drew tracing the path of the shadows should converge at a single point if extended far enough (in this case, according to the green lines, they would converge off the image somewhere to the lower left). The shadow of Garret is correct and undoctored. If the shadow of the plane was correct, then the red lines would converge to the same point as the green lines.

I can only guess why they faked the image. Maybe it was just easier to create the symmetrical composition with some cutting and pasting rather than by clicking the photo at the perfect moment???

Sorry... I couldn't resist.

Elevator Tail Touch with my super hotts. I did not hurt the airplane at all.

Yeah sure, It looks like it snapped in half!

Nope didnt hurt at all. Looked worse in the picture. Heres the picture of the elevator. No elevator damage!

Here's my Carden edge doing a little 3D, It has a DA 150 and JR radio.

Another 3D shot

Blaine,

If you go back and look at the pics of Wes flying my Extra and his Carden CAP you will notice that he is parking them right on the flight pod where you will be standing in April. Do you think you will be able to focus with his plane flying rings anound you???

Bean

Hey Bean,
I've been seeing that trick for a long time. You have to remember that I been flying with Mike Sauls for a few years. I've got a couple of new tricks for Wes. Tell Wes the real test is to hover in someones face with someone else is in yours. Thats the true test. You have to be really focused and have some big ones. Should be fun in Moblie.
Blaine

Too much fun...

Garrett's pic looks real to me.
