Post from 20watt bulb re " "flyRC"-- obviously a budding commodian.
I larnt control line flying using a Brave and a O&R backport 23- (1949)so--
I would not accept RC till it became a porportional setup.
No "feel" to it
A good RC setup nd a good plane - can be felt as it flies - really.
Locally we do have some CL stunt flyers who are good at it
Gordon Delaney and a few others.
I fly RC big/little gas and tiny foam aerobats .
Only stunt contest was in Phoenix -in 69 I think - using a foam wing -Monokote covered Merco 35 powered home brew.
Totally out of the acceptable norm then.
It didn't even have flaps!
It did turn very well tho- I quit stunt because the "look" of the plane meant more than it's flying character.
But I sure liked the feel of the model doing exactly what I wanted.
That was the real appeal to me.
back to sleep now ----
