i love control line flying

[@terryforbes4038]

Fantastic C/L coverage. After all. C/L was the Modeling area that put the AMA on the map. Just a young 70 year olds opinion.
Thanks. More C/L Please. Terry&thepirates

Perfeito e precisão nas manobras e detalhes nos modelos aos amantes desta modalidade hoje Se confraternizando estimulando quem sabe um jovem o interesse pela careira civil ou militar estou velho e doente mas quando vejo alguém dominar com maestria o modelo me vêm um sorriso e me sinto jovem novamente querendo estar nos controles não permitam que caia no esquecimento o que estimulou muitos a serem grandes aviadores a internet tem sido de um valor inestimável para nós PARABÉNS pelo incentivo a esta modalidade de esporte!!.

Congrats, Paul Walker... I wish I could do more than just loops wih my C/L plane, LOL...

Nice to see this report. My interest in model aircraft came about in much the same way as he describes. What powerplant is being used in the P-47, a four cycle or two cycle?

William had a hard time remembering his name.

Really!! I keep my RC Jets and Warbirds..no strings!

Your choice of course. I love flying control lines. You actually get the feel of the aircraft. Lot cheaper also. And we don't have to put stupid transponders on them like RC.
