2004 FAI Control Line World Championships-2004/11
FOR THE FIRST time in 20 years, the FAI Control Line World
Championships (CLWC) was contested in the United States.
Between July 4 and July 10, the best CL modelers on the planet
made their way to AMA’s International Aeromodeling Center in
Muncie, Indiana, to compete in the four FAI F2 events at the 23rd
CLWC: A (Speed), B (Aerobatics), C (Team Race), and D
(Combat).
Control Line Combat-2011/09
FAST COMBAT RULES for F2D: It
appears there is much interest in the hybrid
Fast Rules/F2D event. This could be
attributed to the ease of organizing and
running a competition using the AMA Fast
Combat rules, in comparison to a full F2D
competition
Control Line Combat - 2008/05
IN THE MARCH column I wrote about
having an efficient pit box that is laid out
carefully so that all the necessary items are
in immediate reach. This month I have
included a photograph of the other extreme:
a pit setup that has everything including a
Combat pilot’s version of a La-Z-Boy
recliner.

Control Line Combat - 2010/05
IN JULY 1977, I
wrote an article titled
“Quick-Pit” that was
published in Model
Builder magazine.
Members of the
Flying Tigers model
airplane club got
together and built a
batch of pit boxes
that were identical.
