New guy here. I was pretty excited to get my very first shots from the air so I thought I would share one.

Welcome to RC Canada.

Nice photo. Looks like you are in BC or Alberta.

Very nice shot.

Nice area to be shooting from. Lots of photo worthy material.

Thanks guys,

I'm using a modified slow stick with an E Flite 480, I added ailerons and an Askman camera mount. this plane is my first fixed wing so I'm at the point where I need to practice LOTS. I'll post more shots as they come. Right now I'm practicing with ballast instead of a camera as I'm a little less afraid of crashing without the camera on.

Went for a flight today and grabbed these shots. Not bad but I needs TONS of practice, tried to get some shots of my son on the grounds and landed with a camera full of shots of nothing but grass.

Jerry, here's a shot of my rig with the Askman camera mount, upgraded landing gear, E Flite 480 and 3 cell 2200. I have also strengthened the wing for the extra load and added ailerons. Let me know if you have any questions.
