Welcome back to the stunt famlily. There are three dedicated stunt forums on the web. Stunthanger.com is by far the most in depth and most active. www.stunthanger.com You will find secialty subforums on most every area of control line from stunt to speed. Lost of building help and lots of very good building info. It is the most active forum I know of.

Stuka stunt forum http://www.clstunt.com/htdocs/dc/dcboard.php is another and also excellent.

Ultra Hobby Products control line stunt forum http://www.egpworld.com/forum/ is another very good one.

PAMPA also has a web site but there really is not a forum proper there.

Yo will find that Stunt Hanger forum will be able to put you in touch with fliers in our area very quickly.

I have just returned this past year to CL stunt after over 20 years off. Its been alot of fun and I still prefer cl stunt to rc aaerobatics. Just a bigger thrill when you are attaaached to the plane and the bottom of the maneuvers is 4 ft off the ground. I went thru 3 ARF's getting the pattern back down (ie killing them) and getting so I could fly a competative pattern again. Its nice that Brodak has brought out planes that are competative and light weight and even a useable stunt motor. There are a number of cottage industry companies kitting superb planes with excellent wood that is good enough to rsult in competative planes. Even cottage industry motorrs that are stunt specific and give tgurely amazing stunt runs. I currently am using aerotiger .36 in a Vector 40. Most amaizng out of the box plug and play motor I have ever seen. After I stopped killing the planes I was able to move up thru inermediate ad win consisatntly there so next year I am going to fly PAMPA advanced. I have a new Vector 40 I'm doing from an ARC (so I can get the appearance points) ... was using arf vectors this year to work out the control system I wanted to use, for me from what I used to fly in the past I wanted a faster than stock system after doing a stock plane... and I wanted to work out the power system in an arf before I did a finish on a plane. I started with a Brodak 40 which worked ok, but was not a killer system like the aerotiger. I'm also building an aerotiger .36 poewered Profile Road Runner to fly in PAMPA classic class and P-40 class. Its nice to go to a contest and be able to fly 3 clsses, especially with only 4 airplanes.

Anyway, you'll find lost of info and friends on the web sites above. All 3 are diffent in focus as is this one.

Keep track of the greasy side,
