If 'twere mine, widen the wings to the edges, point the spinner at the lens and see if the armament works.
Though I like #1 for the pure fun of it all ... I can't take my eyes off #4 ...

You mean like this ...
Not sure about the armament ... but I wouldn't want to get in the way of that "bacon slicer"

Arrrgh ... I thought long and hard about that one! It was my #2 choice. I wondered whether the "just look what I've just flown under" hint was too subtle. Still undecided

They are all good competition images Adam best thing is you have up until the end of the month to change it if you want to.

I like the colour of the water more in #4 though ,..if you were to edit the water colour in #2 to match #4 shed be a winner i reckon

Ummm ... that's two "votes" for #2 already (thanks!!). Back to my electronic drawing board, I think!
@Adrian ... good idea on the colour edit. I hardly edit my pics (if at all) - just cropping - probably why I never win
@splitpin - good to see you posting again after the debacle

None of these qualifies!
You know the rule that says "flying between 100ft and 2000ft higher than your nearest ground"?
It does NOT mean 100 ft above the BOTTOM of the HARBOUR!
There was some ground pretty close by - at either end of the bridge- and I was at 101ft ... honest!!!
What do you reckon, Mr Doug? #2 Legal or not?
I suppose I do need to change it to #2 - which at least indicates that it's somewhere in NZ, as my original choice could be *anywhere*.

They all qualify as for the rules we can be a little flexible it is very hard to keep at exactly 100ft when you strike a bit of turbulence you could get a bit of wind share and drop quite a few feet and that's about the best excuse that I can think of for being a little low

Apart from illegally flying under a bridge, that is
@Charl - yes I know - I was just trying to wind up the Mod

Im not sure about the rest of the chc members, but i got all keen this afternoon...had a fly , took some shots....but then it just didnt seem important anymore.....all i want is a good shower, and not have to worry about which bloody water is boiled and which isnt...and dont step in that puddle because its a metre deep......is someone trying to break in to my parents house while their away.....never ending cr@p..
Sorry Adam, got a bit off track......i think I'll stay away for a few days.....but great shots bra guy....#2
