Green river rc,
gcb is right in what he posted. A full competition routine can be done with no other functions besides throttle. Additional maneuvers besides what George mentioned include taxi, missed approach, high flight, and throttle control itself. The AMA special interest group for scale is called National Association of Scale Aeromodelers and their website has an article by Mike Welshans describing all of the C/L scale events. [link]http://www.NASAscale.org[/link] I have been flying my C/L scale models with electronic control. I use the direct servo control function in a JR radio system. One of the flying lines has to be insulated (fishing leader wire). Basically I have a direct servo control cable that is about 65' long. There are also purpose built systems available that include the control levers in the handle. The three-line mechanical throttle systems and special handle are available from Brodak.

I can't tell you how to prevent dizziness. I guess in over forty years of flying C/L I have gotten used to it. A couple years ago my first flight of the year, after the Winter layoff, was on one of my race planes. Bad idea, I got dizzy but quickly got used to it.

My atlas doesn't show Raywick, KY. Where is it? I know C/L scale guys in KY, southern IN, and OH.

I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and there are more C/L competition events within reasonable driving distance for me than there are R/C scale competition events.
