Mike,
That is a Balsa USA 1/3rd scale kit. If I remember correctly, the upper wing is around 115"! It is BIG that is for sure...

Perhaps I missed something. The person submitting the photo has to be the photographer. They are supposed to be RC related to compete. ( Full scale stuff is nice to see but RC is the subject of the competition ) I did not see where the picture was required to be taken in the month of competition. Did I miss that one? Perhaps Wizard can chime in. If that is the case, I think the number of entries will be much smaller.

I just enjoy looking through all the pictures. I find this venue easier than browsing the photo gallery.
The photos can be of anything RC related or related to aviation, Full size is fine.

I'm not limiting to photos taken the month of the contest, but I would ask that you don't keep submitting the same photo more than one month.

Again, photo must be taken by the person submitting the photo. That is just the way a photo contest works. I will give an example: One day at the field Skydiver takes a photo of maeu2003 flying a plane owned by wizard built by someone else. Who gets to submit the photo? Only the person taking the photo.

I know that we all like to see photos of ourselves flying posted on the internet, and the Giants. Just post those photos in other threads or in the gallery.

Sorry you don't like the rule that it must be the original work of the poster. But, the rule stands.

Another thing, If you post a photo that someone else took, you are in violation of copyright laws and if the person who took the photo wanted to, they could sue you and FG for copyright violation. The photo does not have to be marked with the copyright symbol, as soon as the shutter clicks, that photo is the intellectual property of the person who pressed the shutter button.

alrighty fellas, back to the photos please and quick. Flatlandman, if you have an issue with Mike nuking your shot, there is no doubt in my mind that it should have been nuked. If you have a pic for the POTM, post it. If not, please enjoy other's submissions.

Best -- MD
