FILMED AT THE BMFA NATIONALS RC MODEL AIRCRAFT SHOW AT RAF BARKSTON HEATH - GRANTHAM - LINCOLNSHIRE UK - NG32 2DQ,
FILMED ON SAT AUGUST 24 - 25 - 2019,
THIS EVENT WAS SUPPORTED BY THE BMFA,
Combate é a prova mais emocionante que tem no Aeromodelismo. Sou fissurado nesta prova desde os 16 anos, hoje tenho 74 anos. Fui Campeão várias vezes e até hoje faço combate!
isso é brilhante Roberto, que bom que você gostou
VOEI ASSIM, ADRENALINA VAI A 10000...
I've not flown control-line combat, but I used to fly the RC version; it was great fun. The models were almost the same: just big wings with stupid amounts of control throw (no expo or rates). They weren't as manoeuvrable as the ones shown here, but at least you didn't need an airline sick-bag at the end of every fight/flight!
We had slow combat, too. Foam deltas with masses of up-trim, stooging about on 1/4 throttle with their noses in the air, towing twenty yards of ribbon. Ridiculous but very relaxing.
sounds like fun Elli
This was my weekend beer at the 70's ! Very nice!
Very cool!
Wow! We were doing this 50 years ago - and they're still doing it!
I did this once, about 40 years ago and even then, it was called "retro" 😀
How do you avoid tangling the control lines?
About 60 years ago I was into Combat flying Razor Blade, Cleaver, Black Ghost, Peacemaker, Dongus, Rogue, Flingle Bunt, and many of my own designs with wire booms. Still have some plans
@@kardRatzinger Hi! When two pilots are in the circle center (each with their own plane), it's fairly easy to fly, while being mindful to avoid wrapping together the two sets of control lines. But when the two planes are flying combat, to cut each other's streamer, many spontaneous stunts are being done to evade or pursue. That's when accidental line wraps are seen most, which typically end with one or both planes crashing!
@@supafrogg258well you helped me to stop scratching my head with a couple questions. I'm amazed that they don't get tangled almost instantly, and I didn't notice the streamers. I was thinking that to win, one would need to survive a crash, which is likely almost impossible.
Just watched both control line videos. Didn’t know that happened these days.
Wow, around and around (Chuck Berry 1958- Rolling Stones 1964 😂😂😂).
My first flight 1960 was an inexperienced, windy day disaster that lasted maybe all of two minutes.
10 or 12 years later it was a small Cox red biplane on a too small school yard. Way to short line but managed to take off and land ok. Got pretty dizzy though, imagine that would probably kill me now at 71.
Anyway thanks for sharing and arousing some old memories
👍👍👍😎😎😎
lol - glad it brought back some happy memories cary,
Great Sport. Should be in the Olympics.
Piccos and Rossis. Wicked fast engines!
I loved the smell of diesel fuel and nitro. I competed as a teenager so long ago. I remember seeing Open combat planes have their wires cut and would fly off into the wild blue yonder.
great memories peter
Прекрасное воспоминание. Спасибо за видео!
большое спасибо
This is how i started out flying at about 10-11 yrs old. Wish i still had my old plans
Plenty of plans at Aerofred.com Do you remember the Top Flite Nobler ? Build it again. You can still buy the gorgeous Veco 19 new at www.mecoa.com/kb/aero/controlline.htm.
Brilliant just brilliant bro. Thanks for posting
thanks m8
I started in the uk doing this at 12-13 years old, i remember building a talon flying wing with a 2.5 diesel in my bedroom and almost passing out from the dope fumes
I found my KK Talon last summer when I cleared out my Fathers loft, I think I built it in 1978 :)
@@HorsleyLandy88 First plane I ever flew KK Talon with a ED hunter 3.5 diesel, it belonged to a pal of mine, that was just over 60 years ago.
Hi I always enjoy your videos and it's nice to see some control line combat action. I am actually in this video although not flying, I am in the centre circle as the centre marshall and I was also CD for this event last year. I would have been this year had it not been for the Coronavirus !! I am the Chairman of the Combat Flyers Association and hopefully next year 2021 if the Nationals take place I will be CD again and would like to meet you and could give you close up access to some of our combat bouts for you to video. Any publicity we can get will help to keep this branch of our hobby alive, hopefully. Please come and say hello.
hi tony, thanks for your comments, i had been filming up on the main flight line both days but managed to slip away and have a look around, i didnt film much of the combat as i didnt want to bother / pester anyone during their competition so just filmed from the outskirts, it would be good to film someone giving a short tutorial on the models - ie price, kit or plan, clubs to join, engines, pilot age range, safety rules etc etc then that might light a touch paper in the youngsters etc that might come across the video, of course ill film some flying as well, depends on the weather but i generally film all day saturday at the main flight line then sunday at some point ill wander around the whole site, lets hope and pray the weather and covid play ball next year tony - regards pete,
Where are you guys located and is there any warbird meetings happening in October?
I will be in uk from Australia for holiday on October
your in luck B, on 6th October is baldock scale day at - baldock, warren lane, herts, SG7 6RR, a very popular event, the other is the big show from the LMA on 12/13th oct held at the Yorkshire air museum, east riding, Halifax way, Y016 4AU - ALL DEPENDS ON THE WEATHER ON THE DAY !
Wot !!! Only 2 in the circle ??
I have 5 of my Gfather's old control line planes. Couple have motors. The kit he used. Plus one of these "fighters". Never saw them fly. Always wondered how their lines wouldn't get tangled up while fighting.... Thanks to this video I am still wondering... lol
great memories ryan
We do get tangled up, it's just about remembering how you got into it and then flying back out of it! I'm the bloke with the yellow hat flying the last bout on here btw...
Nice video i flew combat in the 70s would be nice to have sub titles saying who is flying
it would be if i knew who they were !
@@tbobborap1 :) I flew combat in UK in 70s perhaps same guys as then, but older!
@@atlantasportflyingllc5541 I think you would be surprised how many of the folk you see in this video were flying in the '70's and some a long time before. Here's a few names for you. Vernon Hunt, Richard Evans, Mick Lewis, Moggs Morris, Stoo Holland, Mart Kiszel just a few that are still flying.
@@tonycookson2841 Thanks if I still lived in UK I might give it a go again!
My ears should quit ringing soon, right?
afraid not m8, that tinnitus will follow you to the grave :-(
Helmets? Really?
???????????
@@tbobborap1 ????????? I flew combat flying Satan's, and Combat Cats as a teenager in the early 70's with McCoy redhead .35's, Dukes and Missile Mist fuel. Not once did I wear a freaking helmet. I do on my motorcycle, but CL airplanes? Really??
@@dwaynedonnelly not wearing a stupid helmet just to fly combat. I bet you're wearing 2 masks, right?
@@dwaynedonnellyHey DeWayne....Just stop.
Requirement if doing competitions
This shit is weird wtf.
me 76.there were at least 3 to fly but 4 more common. resulted in more ground contact.I remember The Razor Blade..Uk.
But believe me when I say that it is incredibly fun to participate in. If you can attend either one of these competition events, or can be alongside someone doing it on their own, you'll grasp what's being done quickly.
