Control Line Scale - 2015/04
Correction: The 2014 Nats coverage in the December 2014 “Control Line Scale” column incorrectly reported that Bob Whitney’s 1/2A Scale pond racer used .61 engines. The model was actually flown with .061 engines. That would have been one fast aircraft with a pair of .61 engines!

This year’s Nats was one for the record books. There was a large number of entries and it was the first Nats to qualify pilots for October’s National Association of Scale Aeromodelers (NASA) Scale Classic.

Profile Scale is an event that makes it difficult to hide features that make the model look too busy. Somehow you have to hide the fuel tank, bellcrank, and pushrod. Add flaps and retracts, and you really have a challenge.

The Royal Air Force needed a high-performance fighter interceptor in the late 1920s. The de Havilland D.H.77, built by the company as a private venture, competed against the Hawker Fury biplane for this role. In the end, the Hawker Fury was selected as the winner and only one D.H.77 was built. It was first flown in 1929.
