[RCSE] Interesting photo
I went to the site that the photo is on (http://www.cirrus-rcfk.no/) and it seems that this person (Inge Balswick) actually does this feat. Can anyone translate the caption that accompanies the photo? The language is unknown to me, but if I took a wild guess, I'd say Norwegian.

[RCSE] Interesting photo!
Guys, these responses sound awfully amero-centric. While I realize much of this is in jest, this is a real guy who dresses a little different than current west coast soaring chic. This is an international list you know. Some of you guys need to travel! This guy can probably out-fly 90% of those on the list. I vote it's a real pix. The real question is what to do about barefoot bohemian fliers, often with no shirt on. (vbg). FYI: Xenophobe: one who fears, mistrusts, or ridicules that which is foreign or strange.

I agree. But no matter where or what you are there will always be critics. At 08:31 AM 5/26/00 -0400, Barry Andersen wrote: Guys, these responses sound awfully amero-centric.

I would say Norwegian is correct as an icon on the bottom of the page says 'Norwegian Modelers' . glide wrote: I went to the site that the photo is on (http://www.cirrus-rcfk.no/) and it seems that this person (Inge Balswick) actually does this feat.

Re: [RCSE] Interesting photo!
It had to be staged... It looks like a composite photo. Also, in order for that plane to fly in that attitude in the crow mode it would have to be flying at 40 MPH. If the plane was coming in nose high, i would believe it RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [RCSE] Interesting photo!
FWIW, A close pixel by pixel examination of the photo shows no evidence of tampering. Even the shadow is correct. However, close scrutiny of the pilot shows evidence of a blue cape with a yellow "S" under his street clothes. Don Richmond RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Interesting photo!
Why can't anyone believe that it is real? We don't know the attitude/speed of the A/C just before the pic was taken, we don't know the pilot, let alone his skill level. Looks to be wind from right-to-left, it's plausable, there is nothing "fake" about it! geeez. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
