Default Line question

Hi all,
I haven't flown U-control in about 45 years. Use to fly Fox 35 size craft... etc...Loved it, but have flown RC that entire time since then. I'm wanting to get back into control line and have been trying to do some research first. What I can't find for some reason is any information on the lines to use for different size planes and engine combinations. Is there some source for that I might find? Thanks in advance for any help..

Check out the C/L aerobatics (stunt) rules on the AMA web site. IIRC line size are spelled out for various model weights and engine sizes. For .35 or .40 powered models 0.015" works well.

You can also check the Brodak website.
They have the table for the recommended line size based on your engine size.
