    This is a way different than when we flew Control Line Stunt in the early 70's. We flew a lot slower with O.S. .35's and Noblers. The Fox .35 powered planes were even slower. Looks like he's using longer lines than the 60 foot ones we used. Ah the memories and the smell of the K&B or Fox Superfuel.

      @Trash Shaming Yes, people do still fly control line. I've been out of touch these last few years, don't know who's won the World Champs in F2B (CL Stunt) for the last decade. The Chinese were dominant throughout the 90s IIRC. These days they've moved to electrics for Stunt. I'm more of a Combat flier (using streamers).

It was tail heavy, & would stall too easily, with my novice flying skills! I was crushed when it quickly crashed and broken. A compassionate older CL hobbyist flier then bought & let me fly a Jim Walker designed American Junior Firebaby. What a wonderful, fun, easy to fly, trainer plane that was! In no time, I was doing loops, & having a blast! That more experienced flier made all the difference. I'm forever indebted to him & his kindness!

      Thank you. Yes this model is very sensitive. In this time I practised 1.000 flights a year. And every time it is a high risk flight.
      The attraction of Control Line is that every flight is like you are sitting in a rollercoaster and to feel the tension of the model airplane is very sportive.
      Radio Control is very attractive, too. I like to watch this beautiful flights and models. For me, modelflying is a great sport. Every category has her own style and type of great attraction.

      He was born with a control line in his grasp, plane in motion. So his right arm is actually a foot and a half longer than his left.

    OMG! It looks as though the pattern hasn't changed since I memorised it from the rule book of 1978! Lol. :)
    He's a bit rough...
    But I was flying in the days of Doug Harlow, Doug Grinam and Tony Cincotta.
    HP40 being the engine of choice that I still have today. :)
    It was great learning about improving aircraft design.
    I turned mainstream ideas upside down with wing and flap design, and came up with an aerobatic model that could change direction around a very sharp radius like a combat model with no buffeting, with next to no speed loss, yet it was the size of a small stunt ship (36" span) and at the same flying speed, slow!
    You could fit 2 vertical eights on top of each other in the same space as one.
    And like all great Experimental's, it was lost in a crash, pushing it on a windy day at a comp....
    A few years later, now involved in full sized aerobatic scene, the Russian's present to the world, the Sukhoi 26.
    The latest carbon fibre aerobatic machine from the Soviet Union, had my bloody model wing design on it! LOL. :)
    It it flew like my model as well!
    Big fat section with the centre of lift moved way forward, it pitched amazingly tight with no loss of speed, the big tractor radial pulled the weight slowly up the vertical line, minimising drag of higher speeds, and when pointing down, the big fat wing with a closed throttle and propeller drag, it came down the vertical so slowly, with full controllability to be able to roll at max rate.
    The theory was proven in the real world.... with someone else's money! Lol. :)

      @Jim Alley I can remember as a kid here, on a weekend you would hear them at the local high school oval. We would jump on our bikes and rush down there and watch. Sometimes, you would be invited to look at them close up, and the questions about how they worked flowed. Haha, as well as being able to fly control line, those guys were also very patient with the neighbourhood kids and would answer all our questions.

    I did a CL workshop with my son, once upon a time. When I got a chance to try it myself, I was so surprised. With the background a blur, you're looking at the plane, and it really responds aerodynamically to the controls! From outside the circle, it looks only ballistic.

We had the Merco, ED bee. ED Special. and a few other engines including the Italian Super tigre , Austrian and Russian engines.......... Great times in my life. Even though radio is very attractive, my grandson would like this and so I should go back to it to give him the experience.
