Mac - I'll take one too for shipping along with CASTRO (John). You can ship both of ours to Sacto together to save on shipping costs.

PM me for my or John's shipping address. And PM me with Paypal details if that's what you prefer for payment.

Thanks!
Todd

Wow that looks even better than I thought - VERY COOL!

I like how the black cars make a "U" shape around the white ones. I'm sure the white lines helped us park but Mac really did a good job with how it looks overall.....

To the father/son who did this, a lot of thought and planning went into doing the shot and $40 bucks is a very fair price. I used to be big into the R/C helicopters and easily had $4-5k invested in my setup. The controllers they were using cost upwards of a grand each. This does not even take into account all the photo gear they had!

Who contacted these guys and how do I get in touch with them to do another gig?


I'd love to have that picture framed in my office

That's amazing...what sort of RC shopper took the photo? Is it an off the shelf deal, or something custom?

It's been a while since I've been in the R/C scene but that chopter looks like a bit smaller than a .6 sized model.

I'm guessing it's a Kyosho .5 sized helicopter but the base looks to be a custom designed unit that swivels independent of the chopter flight position. The pilot keeps the chopter steady while the camera base can turn. I saw a small battery pack and servo's on the bottom tray that operate the camera swing arm separately. Quite ingenius setup....the orange foam covered legs help to give the pilot orientation I'm pretty sure.

Josh, if you want, me and Todd are going to get ours combined to save on shipping. Maybe we could get one order for the Sacramento area people that are ordering.
