FLIGHT PLAN

PROJECT SHOW-AND-TELL

e love seeing your latest builds in “Pilot Projects,” and it just got easier to share your creation with the rest of our audience. Go, and click on “Aircraft & Gear” at the top right, under our logo. Drop down to “Pilot Projects,” then to “Submit a Pilot Project.” Fill out the form and upload your photos—up to nine!—and your plane will be featured on the website. Please be sure to upload high-resolution images so we can also showcase your aircraft in print in “Pilot Projects.” A few photo tips that will help make your plane look its best: go outside on a sunny day and shoot the sunny side of your model with the sun to your back. Make sure there isn’t any distracting clutter in the background, get low with your subject, and use it to fill up the frame. Even better, ask a friend to take some shots of you with your pride and joy! We look forward to seeing and showcasing your builds.
