Just a bunch of guys havin' fun. R.C. scale aircraft.:D :p :D :p
Thes planes are very hard to capture .They are fast, small.
All photos shot with 50mm.

Bay Area R.C. modeler's. More action shots in my gallery. Enjoy:D

Small is relative! Compared to the real thing, they are tiny. But when you have a R.C. aircraft with wingspans of six feet or more...small becomes a very relative term.

As photography targets, they are very small and very fast. You did a great job capturing these! I've shot enough of the real thing at airshows to know that shooting something that small is NOT EASY!

Indeed these little guys can be a challenge to shoot.

The first one with the hills is my pick of the four! The photo looks at first as if it is 'real' coming in for a landing on a grassy strip in the back yard. If the plane had been a little more in focus, and the background slightly out-of-focus you might just have a poster.
Still that is a good shot and indeed a good 'tracking' one too.

The shutter looks like it might just be about right to keep the props blurred and still offset you motion with the camera.

I get a chuckle out of the expressions that are on some of the figures that these modelers choose.

Got any more?

I use my RC plane to shoot aerial photography. I fly a slow stick with a pentax S40 on it.

Yes, I bought a Junior 60 and a diesel engine just for that.
Has a carrying capacity of about 8 ounces.
Never got round to finishing building it though, I got married instead !

That field looks really awkward to fly from.
Houses and fences really close, probably wouldn't be allowed here.

I've still got my wings somewhere - we had to qualify to fly at our club.
Take off into wind, two circuits, land, take off cross-wind, two circuits and the examiner cuts the throttle so you have to dead-stick at a random point in the circuit.
OK to be fair it's usually on the downwind leg :)

Great fun, but I don't think I'll go back to it.
