Default RE: Flying for the camera!

Excellent thread concept!

There are lots of bad RC shots e.g. tiny dots of airplanes in the sky.  I think to get the best photos, the camera man and flyer will need to be well coordinated and you will need to get the cooperation of other flyers. 

I think to get a shot like your example, the pilot could come in over the runway say from the left, a just past the cameraman, execute a left hand 185 degree left turn, the shot is taken just before roll out, the pilot then rolls right before coming back over the runway.

Big lenses are a must 300mm is probably a minimum
