All C&C welcomed. Thank you, to all who post for the inspiration.

Other than the last shot being a little soft, these are tremendous images. Nice job!

#4-5 are the money shots. very nicely done.
100-400L I'm guessing?

Good series.

[orangeclaw]

Thanks for the nice comments. It was difficult to get the little mustang perfectly in focus while it was moving at me or away with the 100-400, it was moving so fast. Flying those planes is an art, with mistakes being costly. They made it look easy, I think I will stick to photography. At least when I mess up, I just hit delete :)

Nice series, and I agree, 4 & 5 are the ones to go with...although all of them are pretty cool. I saw a guy with a remote controlled chopper, a few weeks ago...too bad I didn't have the cam, that day. :(

If the title wouldn't have read "Remote controlled", 4, 5, and 6, could have easily been confused with the real thing. Great captures!

Uh oh... We got some RC nuts here..

Mikeb: Have i seen you on RCuniverse? http://www.rcuniverse.com/community/profile.cfm?section=profile&memid=73980

i do rc too, but boats. big gas ones :)

[PhotosGuy]

i do rc too, but boats. big gas ones I flew too, but what I thought the most about was a R/C sub with a .22 cal deck gun. :D

[Mitch F]

i'd throw up some pics of my past boats, but don't want to thread jack, and they're definately nothing special as far as photography goes :)

yall can post your toys in this other thread i started a few days ago..
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=468530

i use rcU mostly to post club events, thats about all its good for,, rcgroups for my glider and boat stuff, and my home is www.flyinggiants.com (http://www.flyinggiants.com) great site, huge traffic, and i know the mods by name and it goes both ways,, lots of big shot flyers on there also, even some fullscale airshow guys, iv have chatted with Matt Chapman on more then one occasion, anyone into rc should give flyinggiants a look... not to sound like a advertisment.. but i guess it is:D since rc is what i photograph mostly there will be more to come but this forum is a bit more strict on offtopic ramblings..
