Thanks guys and all that voted in the contest .The model is powered with a stock Tee Dee .020 on 35% nitro fuel .It has Texas timer on it and it is a good little flyer .The plane is a Strato Streak (old timer ) and is a scratch build off some plans that I had . It has placed as high as 2nd at contests at Muncie and is the second Strato Streak that I have built . This is the first Cox engine contest that I have entered ... Thanks again guys .

Exactly! That's why the engine must always be visible in submissions.

While I have many more engines than I'll ever have planes, they were made to fly (or drive or sail etc.). In this instance the engine is pictured doing what it was designed to do- power an aeroplane. The colour of the Tee Dee enhances the airframe and the airframe enhances the engine, so I think it's and excellent picture and a worthy winner.
Well done Mike.

I too think that this is more a photo contest than engine contest. I usually vote for the best photo, and that of course is also a matter of taste. I used to dabble with amateur photography before digital cameras became common, even processed some b&w myself. Hence my taste in photos is maybe a bit ”traditional”, but still simple: if it looks good, it is good.

Several good photos again this time around, hard to pick who to vote, but this time I too voted for Mike’s photo. The model had a lot to do with it, that is a beautiful plane!

I also know the frustration some may feel. I have ”poured my soul” into a photo several times, given a lot of thought on angles and lighting, and received maybe one vote, hopefully still a genuine one, meaning that someone actually thought it was the best one, and not out of pity. But if it starts to get under my skin, I just take a break and not enter. During the past few months the entry list has filled in a couple of hours and has been full already when it was morning here on my time zone, which is great, it shows the enthusiasm Very Happy

But remember, it is all fun and games, not to be taken (too) seriously Smile

Mark, you sent a Cox helicopter photo. Am I wrong? Very Happy

**Admin** Mon Jul 15, 2019 1:53 pm

Mike's photo is a great example of a winning Cox Engine of the Month photo. One could post a picture of an engine with a plain white background, picture it among a collection or display, picture of it on a test stand, on a model... be creative with it. There's many factors when it comes to people voting on pictures, it's usually not just based on the engine itself but rather the setting, lighting, clarity, subject...

I routinely tell people when the engine in their model isn't photographed clearly enough, or it's too hidden by cowling. This is indeed an engine of the month contest rather then a model of the month contest... but models are what the engines were made for and a picture of an engine in its nature intended setting is perfectly fine.

Once again, congratulations to Mike for getting July's Cox Engine of the Month!
