A while back, "Monster Nation" came out to do a segment during the R/C Combat Nats. It was a lot of fun working with the guys from Monster Nation. It was also really odd to see what they shot, what they said they were going to do, and what finally wound up on TV. What was put together in the final cut didn't look a lot like what was filmed, though in our case, I think the results were pretty good.

I'm not at all surprised that the producers didn't have a clue, and that the guys involved had to work to keep the producers from being totally off the wall.

However, I personally was disappointed in what I saw on "MoC". Not just from being in the hobby, but from the way I think it would look to someone who didn't know anything about RC. Not the fault of any of the pilots involved, of course. I just thought that it made what we do look "random" and wreckless, and did nothing to bring out how cool well performed model flying can be. I think a lot of that was the fault of the camera work and editing btw.

Still, on the whole it's better to get some coverage than none at all.
