Default RE: Control Line Airplane??

This is my own design CL stunter. It's almost completely built from 1/16" balsa including the fuselage, about 63" wing span with 830 sq inches and weighs 59 ounces with an ST G51. The lines connect to the left hand wing so they can't be seen in this photo and mine are 70 feet from handle to the centre of the fuselage which is the maximum length allowed.

One of the joys involved with flying CL is that you can feel what the model is doing, how it reacts to a gust of wind and of course how it reacts when you fly through your own turbulence on a calm day doing consecutive manoeuvres.

But if you want to see the most spectacular and hair raising flying in all of modelling you simply can't get anything more exciting than a good combat bout. Or more crashes either.....
