Steve Koelle ([email protected]) submitted this photo of Bill Holland’s Nieuport 17. Bill used a DLE 55 engine in the Nieuport and added a sound system and LED to the end of the machine gun. Steve wrote:
“As he passed over the field and you heard the gun sound, you could see the end of the barrel lighting up. Great effect!
“The photo was taken during the District VIII Celebration of Flight and Memorial Fly-In in Kingsbury, Texas, October 5-6, 2013. This was the 12th year for this event, which celebrated the gathering of model aircraft pilots and was a memorial for those pilots [whom] we lost over the past year.”
The image was shot using a Canon EOS 50D camera and Canon Ultrasonic 100-400mm L-series IS zoom lens at a 190mm focal length, with an f-stop of f/8 at 1/640 second.[dingbat]
