There's actually a fair amount of stuff on TV about our hobby already, it's just not as polished, if you can call it that, as the "Rocket Challenge". I was excited when the first season of "R/C Today" (edit: I think it's "Inside R/C" ) was announced for The Outdoor Channel, but sorely disappointed in the show. Perhaps this second season is better, but I don't get the channel now. There is, or was, an R/C show on the Do it Yourself network. It, too, was disappointing. If I'm being a snob, I apologize. I just want to see some professional programs done. If it takes crashes and destruction to appease the masses, there are plenty of those. Just show a few $10,000 to $20,000 jets auguring in, and emphasize that cost, and the masses will be pleased. Show a few high speed low passes, and crank up the volume, and the audience will be wowed. Throw in some low angle, on the runway, shots of planes taking off and landing, and you'll have the cool factor. Uh oh, I'm warming to the subject...

Seriously, though, I do think that a few shows could be done around the hobby and related fields (model sized UAV,s, etc.) at the professional level. Send an e-mail to Discovery (TLC, TDC, Wings) and ask for it. If you saw the model jets and planes on "Tactical to Practical," send a message to The History Channel damanding more. The reason I attempted my project was not so much because I wanted to make a video as it was that I wanted to SEE a video, and none were out there at the profressional level. I was hoping that they would take the concept and run with it as I'm not in the video production business.

Just my thoughts.
