The RC helicopter's blades are made of carbon fiber and the motor produces 3hp allowing the 8lb machine to do some incredible stunts.

Wow!, At first glance before I read the text, I thought it was a real Helicopter. Excellent entry.

Thanks Norm. I fly these things all the time and I knew what I would shoot when I first saw this week's theme. I use a remote trigger so I can stay out of harms way too. These things can bite!

Mark, Nice one. I hope that your blades did not get damaged! There use to be a guy on here (Warner I think) that did alot of aerial photography.

Hi John,
Ah yes, the blades did get a good grinding. They were already partially damaged from an earlier scraping at a RC helicopter event though. Anything for the weekly assignment ya know! Heck, I've even taken my pants off for one of these things before
Thanks for commenting.

How much weight would those things lift? I bet you could attach a camera and do some surveillance. Cool.

Hey Benny, you are right. This size helicopter could lift 5lbs pretty easy. It has a 60" rotor span. The military does use larger versions of these for border patrol security.

Yes, the groups that I'm involved with are doing some pretty neat things with videos from these. In Hollywood they use larger ones all the time to get cool aerial videos for movies and commercials.

Thanks a lot Carolyn. Glad you like this. It was pretty natural for me since I am taking shots of these all the time. The challenge for me on this shot was to press the button on the remote shutter while still using both hands to control the heli. It was definitely a lot of fun to make.

Thank you. Years of lighting black-box stages had to be good for something.

Terrific action shot! Hard to execute, I'm sure - but it came off perfectly!

Sorry to hear that Yakim. Hopefully when you least expect it something good will happen soon with your job search.

Thanks Bob. It was a challenge to press the remote shutter button while controlling the heli but somehow the clunky 4fps on the 5D got the right moment.
