As above Phil, but if you're interested I have a couple of plans of other stunt models in a drawer you're welcome to borrow.

Control line stunt here I come :)


can't tell for the pics Jon but i seem to recall C/L stunt benefits from right rudder to assist line tension (especially as most of your flying is in knife edge or wing overs in this case)

Oh No, what have I started? Good work Jon looking forward to seeing it. What are you powering it with?

My control line building is almost at an end due to lack of decent wood. If anyone wants quarter sheet that weighs the same as an iron bar, please PM me. Not expecting many replies!

To be fair Denis, I started doing this a couple of years ago, it's only that I've run out of other stuff to do during Covid that I've managed to finish it at last!

OS25 installed, thought it might be less hassle than a diesel

My little Weston is 5.8cc so I am thinking a basic control line model of 40 inch wingspan - does that sound about right? I had a look at some Belair kits but they don't supply all the wood or the plans. So having to buy plans for the "kits" they are selling from Sarik the cost starts to mount up. I may have to buy some more balsa anyway so might just create something myself. :unsure:
