Airfoilz Photo contest

[paulg]

Post you best photo of your Airfoilz plane here- http://www.airfoilz.com/gallery/main.php and in this thread and on April 1st will do a vote on the best picture and narrow it down to the best 6 and than a group vote. The owner with the bet pic wins a Extra 260!

The pictures can be anything, in-flight shot, someone holding the plane, a pic of your paint job anything but (no-nudity), make it interesting, maybe will use it in a magazine ad. Must be with a Airfoilz plane.

[Vintauri]

This should be fun. I'll have to hope for some nice weather to get all the airfoilz planes out.

[Coonak]

Sounds like a great idea / comp Paul!

I'll kick it off with a few of my favs, but will be sure to get snapping down at the local flying field over the next few weeks.

(sorry if your on dial up modem!)










Cheers

[Vintauri]

I'm trying to get back out but it's soo dang cold it's hopless getting the lipo's to stay warm.

-8 this morning forecast says tomorrow will be even colder.

However March is almost here and things start warming up then.

Hope to get some Bearcat pics for this before it's too late.

[Vintauri]

In fact I think I'll get my son to hold the plane and snap some pics... He loves that. Hmm maybe get my dog in there too.... Kids and puppies sell right? :)

My gal seen me looking at the the picture of the gals holding the new Extra 260 and she says "I could do one better than that". I says how? She says by posing naked while holding the Extra 260 in front of her as to cover up the X rated parts..:eek:..i.e. Benny Hill style........I am like WOW WEE!!!! That would be kewl!!!

I am not sure if she actually meant it but I told her that it would probibly not get posted any how.....SIGH......

Cheers

[smokejohnson]

Nice fleet Coonak. Will you try to get your niece into the hobby?

[Coonak]

Nice fleet Coonak. Will you try to get your niece into the hobby?

Thanks Smokie!
I have 16 Planes in my hanger, but the FoilZ are by far my fav's!
Can't wait to get my hands on the FF Yak.
Will pre-order in the next week.

My nephews are RC mad, planes and cars, so there will be every opportunity for Stefania to get into RC if she so wishes. They have quads/atv's and she loves to ride them, so I would say it's a strong possibility as she seems to 'dig' whatever the 2 boys are into.

I have 2 x more pics I took tonight..... I played with the camera settings and think they came out great!

Cheers

Mick

[bighead93]

Nice shots!! Funny Coonak that we have the exact same hobbies!!

[smokejohnson]

Those are some very nice shots...the planes look great.:)

[Vintauri]

Okay so I have not been able to get any new pics just yet but here are a couple from last year of my Yak and Bearcat.

I'm hoping to get some more soon as the weather is starting to warm up into flyable temps again.

Steve

[Coonak]

Great pics Steve,

I'm especially lovin that clean look Yak.
Very Nice.

Mick

[Vintauri]

Thanks Mick,

I couldn't let you have all the fun :)

I'm hoping to get them outside and try for some better pics soon. Hopefully of them in the air doing that thing they do so well.

I have some more servos coming and hope to get some more in the air this year. I still have an Edge to put together and one way or another I hope to get the Extra and or Full fuse Yak :)

The big regional electric fly-in is only 3 months away. I need to get cracking so I can make a good Airfoilz showing again.

Steve

[msprygada]

Here are a couple of Bipe photos from last year.

[paulg]

[Coonak]

Mick

[Coonak]

A good friend from my club just emailed these pics thru to me which he took at Saturdays flyin. Nice job, thanks Neil.

Cheers

Mick

[Vintauri]

Today is the last day to submit pics guys! Lets get some more out there. Can't let Coonak run away with this and all his dang warm southern hemisphere weather!

I'm going out in the snow storm after work and getting some shots somehow! :p

Steve

[bighead93]

Yeah! Hurry up!

[lonewolf]

It was a challenge but I got her up today. she is kinna hard to see, seeing the underside is white but its there honost.

[Coonak]

LOL Lonewolf!

Big and Vintauri, don't worry, someone will chime in with a killer shot soon I am sure!
I never win anything.

It's a pity I couldn't get down south to my brother in laws property in Albany West Oz because there is a killer back drop there for a wild pic.

I am going in 2 weeks time with a flying buddy (Falcon from this forum) and we are taking the planes.
Here's a pic i took back in 2002 of my brother Rob.

Will hopefully get some killer shots for ya's.
Keep ya's posted.

Mick

[Vintauri]

Okay so my 3 year old and I got out and made a snowman quick in the middle of the white out snow. There were a few breaks but I still had to take the pics with the snow coming down so they are not the best. Not that this is the best snowman either. I couldn't get a clean snowball to save my life.

Anyway I'd like to introduce the newest Airfoilz Pilot...... Frosty!

:p

I have two vids posted over on RCG.

First one. (http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=748055)

Second one. (http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=758604)

My Bipe was a little on the heavy side, but Insane power with the torque 2818/900 and 3s 2100 batt. Also had HS65MG's all around. Just a little overkill.

I may be trying one with a light setup soon.

Have Fun!

AndyI have the same setup and I don't think its over kill. Flies just right. I only have the HS55's in mine now but plan on swapping them out for HS65 as I am not impressed with them. They are not powerful enough to center the control surfaces as they should.

[Coonak]

Met up with Falcon this morning for a quick flight fix before work, and he was kind enuff to take these pics for me.

[Vintauri]

Looks like a really nice place to fly!

[I.C.O.N.]

Does look like a very nice spot to fly. GREEN too! (sure miss green...)

Nice Pics!
