CL Scale 2014/04
John Rist’s Do 335: 1/2A Scale models seem to represent different aircraft that are not typically built for Sport Scale. One such model is the Dornier Do 335 Pfeil that saw limited production during World War II.
CL Scale 2014/02
Hello! I am Fred Cronenwett and have been flying CL Scale since 1988. I started with a Sterling Corsair and three-line throttle control. In 1991, I figured out how to use electronic controls and have flown with them since that time.
Control Line Float-Flying
THE TYPICAL Control Line (CL) model is flown from a concrete or grass circle and uses normal wheels for landing gear. CL models with floats are rarely seen, and flying CL models from water is unique. While the Northwest Regionals CL contest was held at the Roseburg Regional Airport in Oregon from 1997 through 2(K)1, CL models were flown from a float pond as an official event. Flying CL models from water has been done in the past, but flying from u pond this size is rare. From 1998 through 2001
Control Line: Scale
RICHLAND, WASHINGTON hosted the Scale portion of the Nationals, and the weather was fantastic. Driving east from Portland along the Columbia River, we left behind clouds for blue skies. First thing Monday morning all of the Control Line Scale models were judged at the Shilo Inn; pilots who stayed there had a short walk to the ballroom for static judging. The battle for Precision Scale started early Monday, July 10 with Charlie Bauer's (Norridge IL) F-86; the model was judged for over an hour. The 1/8-scale model was built from a Bob Violett kit and weighed 11.5 pounds.
