Happy New Year everyone. !!!

May your new year be filled with great pictures and good fortune on this year of the golden pig. (i know it does not officially statt until chinese new year, but what the heck) In Asian tradition, year of pig typically signifies year of plenty. :)

Happy New year. !!

I just got a big lead that could possibly break things open right out of the blocks for me in 2007, I will be starting a proposal in about 3 weeks. Depending on how things go it may be 180 days of work through out the year and a paycheck of over 300k :)

So to everyone HAPPY NEW YEAR and the very best of luck to you all.

May your helis stay where you put them until you land them and may all of your pictures be perfectly clear.

Wow Cryo, that rocks! Hope it all comes together. Maybe the pig prophecy will prove true. :D

Already in this year of the Pig I have decided on a company name (Hover Imaging), reserved a web domain, and ordered a Logo 10. Guess I'll be ordering another mount from Mr Askman very soon. Then it is practice, practice, practice and hopefully find some clients.

Best Wishes to you all!

My 1st heli photo - taken yesterday with a Trex and a very old camera on an Askman mount as light was fading:

BTW - all the trains we run are real steam powered locomotives. They burn alcohol, butane, or sterno to heat the water which powers steam driven pistons. Many of the locos have Radio control added. Most of what you see in these videos was either scratch built or extensively modified. That goes for both the locos and the cars they pull.

My favorite thing about this is all the people who come by to watch and enjoy:
