I would like to first introduce myself to the patrons of RCHeliResource. My name is Mark Fadely and I am one of the newest contributing paid photo editors and I would like to thank the staff of RCHeliResource.com for the opportunity of sharing my photos with the RC Helicopter community.

With all that I would like to say that here is my first post of XFC 2008. It was a great event even though the sun didnt cooperate I still got some good shots. About 47 photos we posted. Please stay tuned as I will be uploading alot of content to the website over the months to come.
