Control Line Scale-2004/11

IN THE JULY column I went back to
basics with some words about installing
leadout guides. This month I’m going to
step back again and review the use and
makeup of the standard three-line
bellcrank system that CL fliers have used
for many years. I’ll also cover some of the
problems associated with making the
system and choosing three-line bellcranks.

THE AERONCA Champ 85 shown this
month is the work of Frank Slavin of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is making
an attempt at CL flying after an absence
of more than 50 years. He noted that he
last competed in CL Speed in 1948. It
appears that it’s never too late to enjoy the
sport of model flying. Welcome back,
Frank!

Control Line Scale - 2007/10

THE SCALE Contest Board ratified an emergency rules-change
proposal that will have an impact on all CL Scale flying. The
change revises the table that specifies what the pull test should be
for all CL Scale models at various weights and line lengths.
There is also a table that lists lap times for various line lengths,
assuming the model’s speed to be 60 mph.
