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.

**mark_** · 10-15-2008, 03:14 PM

Thanks Ken...Alberta indeed.

Sweet!!

What's your setup?

tech1 · 10-15-2008, 06:46 PM

Very nice shot.

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

**mark_** · 10-16-2008, 09:12 AM

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.

Hey Jerry,

Heading out for some flying this afternoon and I'll try to post some shots this evening.

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.
