Here is one of the few shots I have in my R.C.F.C.B.C. gallery.

I'm not sure why but the image is degraded. Such a drag.

Oh right the RCFCBC, gotcha...

I wouldn't say its degraded, has a few scan lines through and your logo is a bit compressed but looks pretty good.

I like aeroplanes, especially old ones.

Nice shot... hey... that's not a pet!

What's RCFCBC?

Thanks guys. I resized it for the web to a width of 500 px. Here is a direct upload from my computer. Maybe it'll be better.
BTW, R.C.F.C.B.C. stands for Radio Controled Flying Club of British Columbia.

Yes, that seemed to be the ticket. I resubmitted the first one also.

Hey thats better, no artefacts around the plane now either.

How do you do your resizing Colin?

When it's just for web viewing I just use the save for web option in photoshop. I keep the images for my website around 100k. Give or take.

Thanks but how do you size them down from the originals?

Ah, good. I was worried because it didn't seem bad on my monitor!

Nice shots. Looks like fun to shoot these things.

Jamie:

I use a PhotoShop plugin called Genuine Fractals for resizing (up or down). It probably does as good a job in one operation as the old pro trick of sizing up in 10% increments until you get to the size that you want (which works exceptionally well if you have the time).

Maybe I missing something here. I just told you.
Mitch, Yes. They are a blast. I got hooked on shooting these. It's tricky. If you lose sight when you're zoomed in at 300mm, you have to zoom out, refocus and zoom in again.
