Well boys and girls look as last October 4 days and over 11.000 reported controll line flights. Oh its out their. Just go and find it. Real truth of the topic is the zBrotherhood of the ring. Ya we talking about the Sterling Ringmaster S-1 Brodak also.has a copy. U.control is out their and growing. Keepin them Lines tite! AJ

Here is the results page AND by proxy, the page with all the info on THIS years flyathon and the rules. https://ringmasterflyathon.com/index...-a-thon-tally/

I had nothing going on that day AND managed to make it through 94 flights, though it only lists 92. YA, I was all by my lonesome, my grandkids were out on vacation. Yes, I did take advantage of 5 laps takeoff/landing counts as a flight but the closest I came to that was 10 and yes, I was trying to burn the rest of a gallon of fuel that I had opened up the year before, finding out how bad my previous years fuel had been (I think that jug had been used over 4 year) SO I flew it dry. And I did it in shifts, because it was a really nice day and I didn't want to drive my neighbors crazy. Though they're an acre away and frankly, my weedeater, blower and lawnmower all make more noise then a muffled OS25fp.

Still, it's more fun with more people. Clubs around the world with 5-20 people all putting up flights and making a day out of it. Wonder, what the Ringmaster Group fly record was, or if they thought of that. Gonna have to ask on the site. I've got the list for bigger version for a kit cutter. Was going to start on that but instead of getting that for Christmas, I got setup for hip replacement. So that was not as much fun. And I'm considering an Electric version so I REALLY don't have to worry about bothering the neighbor THOUGH his colony of Martins was pretty big this year and the only saving grace was come October, they're done. Gonna ruffle feathers if I run one of his birds down. I wouldn't like it either, they fly along with me when I mow my yard.

Hey Clean sounds like you had a great time. I was thinking the group around Illinois has the group record. Don't know what it was . I got grounded out with wind and rain..my wife had and me to medical issues. And here I am.going to have another back.Sergery in ,April. I've also thought about electric but maybe not. Just got lots of Nitro stuff. You know how many flights you can get on one charge? There is a college group that is all electric. I bet they would know. Also we have lots of birds in my area mostly starlings. They fly around when I cut the grass at the airport. Use to fly RC here. That other bird you mentioned dint like starlings. Some neighbors have the bird houses I have two. But mostly Squirls in my area. Haven't seen the entire Talley sheet. Great post.keep them lines tite.AJ

Can you still buy control line airplanes?

Well Joer308.yes you can buy them.on Ebay. Or Brodak sells several including support equipment..engines. also Sig Manufacturing has some part and supplies. It's a fun hobby. And fairly reasonable to get started. Joining this web site is a good start. They have a sale portion that has lots of U Control items for sale. You can also go electric if you choose. But several of us fly Nitro. AJ
