I'm starting a new thread where everyone is invited to post photos of your models in action (flying, taking off, landing), that you feel are really exceptional.
(If I don't agree that a post/image is not "really exceptional", it will be deleted.)
A simple guideline would be to resist temptation until you find a photo that is really special, and only post one image per post.
Of course give credit and information for the photo.
This is a photo, about 2 weeks old, of my A10 twin ducted fan foam model flying across the TEMAC sky. Glenn N took the photo.
I will monitor and edit this thread.
Great idea! I love this photo taken my Greg Hazelton of my Freewing 90mm Typhoon.
Yes Michael, this is a great idea.
You don't know how much willpower it has taken me from posting a beautiful picture of my Warwing in flight.
So I have settled for my Fairchild PT 19. Photo courtesy of Andy Hoffer.
Greg Hazelton's quad-ducted-fan Airbus 380, on the TEMAC tarmac. BJ took the photo.
My E-Flite AT-6 Texan, I think Glenn took the photo.
My latest fav!
And this!
My Hangar 9 Corsair 60.
I built this 2 years ago, but this was only my 3rd flight on it. I cannot believe how much I enjoy the way it flies and looks. The graphics were done by Callie and the plane represents Canada's first fighter ace Henry "Red" Mulock. Photo is courtesy of Andy Hoffer on 2018 Jack Higgins Skills Competition.
While I can't find many exceptional pictures of my own pretty planes (I wounder why?), I have gone searching through TEMACs photo galleries and found this gem. (I don't know who's plane it is, but the photo belongs to Hoffer - Jan 1, 2018)
Though not scale I think this is a great photo of one of my planes. Anyone who has tried to photograph these types of models knows it's tough to get a good shot of them.
My Great Planes Cessna float plane.
Oh, yea, full disclosure, it's Nitro powered baby and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I love the smell of nitro in the morning ;D
Marc
P.S. I don't love cleaning all that oil gunk off of it after a flight.
TEMAC, this is your plane. You can be proud of it.
This plane was donated to TEMAC by Oscar to our student flight training program. This plane has attained a number of hours in the service of our students this year and will likely have many more added to it in the future. Thanks Oscar.
An exceptional photo of an our Apprentice. (Compliments of Hoffer)
These aren't flying, so I don't know if these qualify for your gallery Michael, however, I think Rob & Oscar's Spitfires look quite real in the grass?
I always liked this photo showing my Lysander in flight.
This was taken in the Fall of 2015. The aircraft has always been a little tricky to fly, but this particular day was being well behaved. I believe this photo was taken by Andy.

Here is a photo of Andy Hoffer flying his Pitts Special. It is a beautiful aircraft which unfortunately had a bit of a mishap last week. But knowing Andy it will back in the air and better than ever.
Andy, this should help your inspiration!
Not to be outdone, here is Michael flying his big 1/4 scale Tiger Moth. This plane never disappoints and is always flown in a very scale manner. This particular shot is from August 12th.
Here is a shot I took of Bruce's Sopwith Tri-plane. It looked so good against the Blue sky that I had to submit this shot. Given that this is a modified Se5a, it shows the skills and ingenuity that is alive and well at TEMAC!
Another shot for Bruce.
This was from the same flight as above.
Thanks Glenn, (
@electroflyer ) Great photos. You have the distance down just about right.
It is a coincidence, I just had my 'stand-way-off-scale' Sopwith Triplane out flying the other day. It flies surprisingly well, for having been put together from two crashed SE5As. (Putting the record straight - even the CFI can really crash em and modify/rebuild em.)
Not sure who took this, I'm afraid, but I do love this shot of my Phantom, too.
??? In among TEMACs photos- Owner of plane and photo credits unknown.
(I think the photo is Hoffers. He's the only one I know who will get down with the crickets.)
Love these photos of the large E-Flite Trojan that I owned for 1 day. It was Michael's and is now Glenn's.
This is a screen grab from a video of me following Oscar's cub.

The photo in post 21 is Andy's but the model is the Norseman I built at the first year's build classes. It's a decent size at 2100 mm ws. and is still flying a few flights a year. I'll look for a photo for the collection.
I think Graham took this one at a Rob Pike Float Fly at Frenchman's. There was a mooring buoy 15-20' out from shore and I nailed it! The cross strut bounced off the floating buoy and the model continued on and made its landing!
Think most of you have seen this one, but I had to include it as my dad took it when he was 90 years old...it's my FlyFly 90mm F-86 with Callie graphics.
This photo, by Andy, is from 2014. The model is my kit-built Top-Flite DC3 (twin E-Flite 32 brushless motors).

Hey
@electroflyer ,
Thanks so much Glenn. That is a beautiful shot of my Pitts, and definitely an inspiration to get the repairs done.
Andy
This was taken back in 2013 at a Scugog Float Flyers session. I can't find the original digital image so this is a photo of a print, but I thought the photo still merited inclusion in the thread. It's an Electrifly Seawind EP about to touch down. Water this calm would be a nightmare for a full size but for the RC pilot, it's great stuff! I'm never quite sure if it's right side up or not!
Yesterday Richard Budny gets his second kill of the day. Unfortunately I was his opponent. :'(
Great photo capturing the moment by who else, -
@Andy Hoffer .
I absolutely cannot figure out how
@bweaver and
@Richard_RC_Guy missed each other!! :D
Andy
Andy, the last photo is spectacular! It's hard to believe it was taken from the ground! Looks more like a gunsight camera!
Anyone for a tug of war?!! :D
Many thanks to
@bweaver and
@Richard_RC_Guy for a fine show!
Andy
