Woodland Davis Aeromodelers Wings of Victory

[jeaton01]

We've been doing this event since the late 90's or longer, here is a link to photos from yesterday, and a few photos. The photos below are all custom built giant scale models with wing spans over 80 inches, a few of the ones in the link are smaller.

Great photography John, its so easy to just freeze the props but you have some really nice prop blur

They look like real aircraft, in a sense they are aren't they? Dig the weathering on the Wildcat.

Paddy, I usually want more blur than that but now that I have done some that way I do like it, Getting the right blade blur on helicopters is much more difficult because the shutter speed being slow makes camera movement a real issue.

Ok that is super Kool. Looks like a fun way to spend the day.

Does the Wildcat wobble around after take-off as the gear retracts? Some guys just never get enough airplane.

That because the hand crank?

Not this one, it has an un-scale powered gear. Hard to get your hand in there when it's flying. But I guess Rich could wobble it a bit on purpose, I'll take it up with him.
