Control line Clowning!

Thanks Shawn,

It feels even better than it sounds. I got lots of good video, more to follow!

That looks like a great flying plane. I was afraid you were going to run out of gas on that last loop or two. What kind of fuel setup are you using?

Your definitely right about the feel. I remember flying my first .35 size c/l model back in the early 80's. It was a SIG Twister powered by an .O.S. .35 and was flown on 60ft lines.  Now mind you, the only c/l models I had flown up to that point were 1/2A and when I made the first flight, I couldn't believe the line pull! It was scariest and most exhilarating feeling in the world! Even after many years and many planes, I still get that feeling when I fly the bigger Ukie's. Speaking of which, I have a T/F Nobler I need to knock the dust off of.

Nah, I was in control the whole time.......      3.5 Oz Brodak Oval. Standard vent. Simple yet effective. Flies like a dream!

I agree the line pull is the best. Still love my 1/2A's though

Here is a few more CL vids of yesterday's events. Jim Hayes is on the S1 and George Hostler is flying the Jr. Ring. The Combat plane is being flown by a fellow who's name eludes me at the moment. Enjoy the Video!

The last guy in the video's flying the combat plane is Burt Goldsmith.

Thanks Jim!

Ron:

Only had time to catch the first video but my ears tell me that is a fine running engine with just the right "break" when needed for great flying.    

Have an appointment with an opthemologist in August.  She specializes in in stroke-related visual problems such as mine.

I pray that she can help me recover at least some of my vision.

Had a wonderful Fourth camping with my immediate family.

Life is good!

Thanks Dave,

I sure hope they can fix you up.

Thank you for the good thoughts, Ron.

I want to explore every avenue possible to overcome my visual problem.
