photo gallery

THIS is the page for aero-model pictures - your own, or others you've seen at the club or at a show; they are all welcome if they're nice to look at!

If you're not into digital photography or scanning pictures, why not send some photos by regular mail? It's not too pricey; a batch of five or six photos costs $1.00 airmail postage from the USA, for example. My address is on the home page.

Jim Slaughter displays his Zagi 400X, turned out in the Horten III colour scheme. Jim made a slight modification from the stock kit by adding Coreplast winglets in place of what he describes as 'the flimsy Lexan ones the manufacturers give you'. This model flies great, and attracts lots of comments at the field. Meet Jim on personal profiles.

Here's a couple of shots from the West Pasco MPA website
	From the 'Electrics' page comes this picture of Carl Schrader with his Soar Star, and, on the right, a delightful collection of models from Barbara Kruger's 'Old Timers' page, with just a glimpse of the rather nice field hut in the background.

Grapher's latest bit of model plane construction - a very nice Twinjet You can see some very different handiwork of Grapher's on hotchpotch		Some great pictures from Bob Nicol

It is fitted out with two coreless digital servos on the elevator, one on each wing, two on the rudder and another on the throttle. Some of you may have seen Paul fly this at the BMFA Nationals 2001 at Barkston Heath (UK) in August. Paul belongs to High Peak Model Aero Club, UK. and is now the demonstration flyer for Glen of Glens Models - congratulations, Paul.

JB Model Flying Club Opening Day The Inaugural Flight!
	First in the air on opening day was Kerry Watts with his Raptor 30. Kerry has been flying for just a matter of months, and is still concentrating on his hovering skills. Standing by was Kerry's friend Karen Howard and Jack the dog.

	The full range of JB Aviation models was on the flight line. Front to back, the Tiger Moth, Merlin, Mini-Sport, ATS Kite and ATS Sport
	John Simpson pores over the Futaba manual as he sets up the Merlin, whilst in the background Bob Neville makes the Kite ready for flight.
	A close up of the lovely little Mini Sport

Introduced by Ian Savage, this is Dominic Mitchell

Dominic is pictured here with his little Biplane (Pitts type) - very fast, apparently, but Dominic can handle it well. His other plane is a Kyosho Cap 232.

Ian is Hon. Sec. of the Fleet and District Model Aircraft Club and describes Dominic as their Web Monkey (that's a new term to me!). Dominic has just put up a fantastic new website for the club which I'm going to to feature on the next issue of Modelflight. It's one of the most ambitious I've seen - and I've seen a good few now!

Send ModelFlight a picture of your aero model

Large or small, kit, scratch built or ARTF, rotary or fixed-wing, electric, rubber, i/c or gas turbine, r/c or free flight, it matters not - and they don't have to be perfect, either. If you like it, let's see it!

Just use the e-mail facility at the foot of any ModelFlight page or send details and pictures by regular mail.
