OK, time to bring out the big guns.
sctcrash...with 166 posts and having been an RCU member since 7/04...you know the guidelines of this thread and can obviously read. Pleas explain to us why you would post that picture.
Did you see that shot and think it looked like a full-scale aircraft? You have either missed, or ignored the point of this thread entirely.
Please try again when you've taken the time to understand what this thread is all about.

Eight SPEED 400 motors. Direct drive with four blade GRAUPNER 6-3 props.
All balsa. The construction article was published in Flying Model magazine Sep. 2005.

I agree - let's have a vote ! This doesn't mean the end of the thread. Just the best shot to date January 2007.

We need to vote on CrashMaster's worst 12 as well (see post #1896). These are photos that are CLEARLY models... that don't even pass the millisecond test.
I renominate my title (with a slight modification) for the contest: "Boyz and their Toyz"

RE: Best scale photo!
Here is my entry. Its a Corby Starlet and flies great. It's an electric conversion by the way. I have a lighting package on it and flying at dusk is a lot of fun and looks good. Unfortunately I have no in-flight pictures of the model. But do include a picture of the real model it was patterned after. Feel free to remover the thread if it doesn't meet your criteria.

RE: Best scale photo!
I stole this photo from TeamScalePilot's Baron build thread. I think this photo (his Piper Arrow at the Nats) meets the 10 second test. It looks like it's on short final. Great use of late afternoon light. I earned my Commercial in an Arrow, and I can't find any obvious flaws in the aircraft. Check out the top-of-the-door latches and the gas caps!
