CONTROL LINE NAVY CARRIER - 2004/08
THIS MONTH’S COLUMN includes some interesting
reference materials for Navy Carrier and new models from Eric
Conley and Mike Potter.
CONTROL LINE NAVY CARRIER - 2005/01
AIRCRAFT AND MUSEUMS: Earlier I wrote about some
reference books that might be of interest to Carrier fliers for
documentation purposes or just as good reading on the history of
naval aviation.
Another great source of information is the Internet. Much
information can be found with any of the good search engines by
typing in aircraft designators, manufacturers, or common names. A
couple other sources of information are museum Web sites and the
museums themselves.

THE FLYING SEASON is upon us, even
for those of us outside the Sun Belt, and
it’s time to try out those winter creations.
As this column is being written, most
winter building plans are in the earliest
stages, so I have little to offer about what
will be showing up on the flying circles
this spring.
Control Line Navy Carrier - 2009/10
SINCE THE RULES changed, and the
Sterling Guardian has become outdated for
Navy Carrier competition, there has been
more or less a continuing question about
the availability of a kit that can be used for
our events. A couple of profile MO-1 kits
have been highly competitive, and Brodak
still offers the Bob Smurthwaite Bearcat
and Skyraider.
CONTROL LINE NAVY CARRIER - 2004/11
AS I WRITE this, the 2004 Control Line
World Championships is history, as is the
CL Navy Carrier demonstration that the
Navy Carrier Society hosted during the
event. The competition consisted of AMA
Profile Carrier and Class I Carrier, with a
10% fuel requirement. The latter was held
to encourage CL modelers from other
countries who were attending the World
Championships to try the event.
