That is a great PIC of a "Real R/C" as you put it! I'm very impressed with the innovative mounting of the MMS (Mast Mounted Site). On the full scale Kiowa Warrior, which I by the way am a maintenance test pilot in, the Sight is supported by a "stand-pipe" that runs through the center of the hollow main mast with several sets of bearings. The stresses produced on the mast by the large amount of flat plate drag, and G loading while manuevering, are phenominal. For it's many problems, it's still the best armed recon platform in exsistence. Until the Rah-66 pipe dream comes to fruition(if it ever does) anyway.
I have discussed the above PICS posted by TENNKANHELI, which he says are of "HIS" r/c, but I think there is some confusion, I'm familiar with the photo he displayed of the full scale, because I was there when it was taken. Looking foreward to seeing PICS of TENNKANHELI's R/C rendition of the Kiowa Warrior prototype.
Here's a photo of me in my KW:
