Plane static scale models

by

In the winter months I also dedicate myself to static modelling with my children. I rediscovered my models that I used to make over thirty years ago. They were in need of restoration, which we did wherever possible. And then we built 2023 a couple of new kits of contemporary aircraft but also of the past. FW 189A-1 (1:72 from ICM), Pilatus PC-21 (1:72 from MK72), Hawker Hunter FGA.9/Mk. 58 (1:72 from Revell), F-16D Tigermeet 2014 (1:72 from Revell), Spitfire Mk.Vb and Me Bf109E (“Double Kit” 1:48 from Airfix), Blackbird SR-71 with Drone (1:72 from Italeri), Me 262 (1:48 from Italeri) and others.

I found a very well equipped model shop in my region https://www.mk72.ch/, have a look!
Time well spent.

Christmas eve at the top

by

Flight with my always reliable Mavic Pro (V1). Christmas eve [20221224] on 1’703 m ASL in Switzerland on the Monte Generoso (Canton of Ticino), near by the border with Italy. The picture was taken in the South direction and under the fog about 60 kilometers away is Milan (Italy). On the ridge you can see the ‘Fiore di Pietra‘ restaurant (Stone Flower) by architect Mario Botta. I have already posted photos of it in the past, here is the link.

We toasted to Christmas and to the New Year with a Prosecco, an hot Tea and a good Panettone. NICE genuine mountains people!

You can look at more of my beautiful drone photos on my dronestagram channel.

Weg der Schweiz

by

A couple of photos with my drone Mavic Pro (1) over the “Weg der Schweiz” (Switzerland’s way) in the Seelisberg Region (central Switzerland) and the awesome village of “Bauen”. The Lake “Vierwaldstättersee” (Lake of the Four Cantons) and the Grütli meadow, historical and almost mythical location for the foundation of Switzerland (1291) and on July 1940 General Henry Guisan used this locations for his speech, the “Rütlirapport”, to the commanding officers of the Swiss Armed Forces in which he ordered the “Reduit”-strategy and his aim never to surrender if invaded.

Flying4nature hat den Nachweis A1/A3 für Fernpiloten erreicht! Mit der neuen EU Drohnenverordnung 2021 ist es obligatorisch die Online-Prüfung der LBA (Luftfahrt-Bundesamt) zu absolvieren. Sie können unter diesem LINK die nötigen Schritten unternehmen: LPLUS TestStudio (lba-openuav.de). Es ist voll machbar. Einfach gründlich die Dokumentation lernen und aufmerksam die sehr gut strukturierten Videos-Tutorials folgen. Ich konnte in zirka 6h Studium dann die Prüfung mit Erfolg bestehen.
