| Actually, no, I don't use a servo. It's a small infrared remote release which hooks directly into the aircraft's receiver and listens on one of the channels. So, no mechanical adjustments to go wrong and help miss a great shot! |

| I take it you remove the "shutter release" button and replace it with a relay controlled from a channel of the radio? That's a pretty good plane if it can carry that kind of payload. Looks like you managed to find about the only sunny spot around the area too. |

| Hey John, it's a blind shot. I control the shutter from the transmitter, but it's a lot of guess work and good luck to get a good shot. The camera goes up there with a Gig of memory to use, so I can take many many shots, and some will be OK! |

| James...Can you see what the camera sees as you fly to compose these photos, or is it just a blind shot? |

Downtown Miami. You can just see the American Airlines arena in the bottom of the shot. Notice the bank of fog in the distance. |

Looking North East over the 836 freeway, across Biscayne Bay. |

About 700 feet up, in front of the Marina Blue and 900 Biscayne condos. |

The machine, with the camera slung underneath on the inverted tripod mount. |

Misty morning in Miami today... |

| I envy you, James. I've always wanted to fly, but was too lazy to take up flight lessons. Another bit of evidence of my wasted youth. REGRETS---REGRETS!!! |

| Ooops, the items didn't come out as two items. Should be: (1) Guillows Series DC Scale Models (2) Scratch Built B-52H
Thanks,
Al |

| Hi James, tried to email you, but messages bounced. Could you add these two items to the aircraft list:
Guillows Series DC Scale Models
Scratch Built B-52H
Thanks,
Al |

| Thanks John. I'm not sure in this shot (500 feet?) but I think I've had it up to about 800 before, going by the known heights of skyscrapers, and if I'm level with their tops. |

| James...youskills as a RC pilot amaze me again. What is the approx altitude of the plane? |

| I think my radios are FM. In the US, you have to use 72MHz, trotro. If I were starting out again, I would use one of the new 2.4GHz systems - there are no crystals and in theory, no risk of colliding frequencies out at the field. |

| james i got a question the radios that work on AM are good to begin my system? |
| jgood, Comment for image # 5004 | 11 Nov 07 12:42 |
| Thanks chaps. It was nice to get out there again this morning, the wind hasn't been cooperating here for a while (too much of it!). |

| James, your photos are amazing. Ditto JO on flying skills. |
