What year was this?

Very cool !!!!

You know, if that kid had some more features on that, he would've won a Scale control line competition or two.

Anyone know what the size limit for a safe control line plane is? I can just see a big four-engined model picking some poor pilot off the ground!

The sad thing is that in Britain that kid flying the planes actually gets pussy.

avro lancaster!

Thats not something you see every day! Good to see a B-17 with an RAF roundel, you dont see enough of that. The Lincoln is even more impressive! I wonder if you ever get dizzy with control line flying?

[xjet]

What-ho and all that!

[RaptoF22]

Why did they use two handels in one. Its easier to control models with one single hand handel. (When the planes are not too lean)

Thought that was a Avro Lincoln, still in use wnen this film was made!

Great to see this, many thanks for posting. I have a control-line Messerschmitt BF110 with 2 x 2.5cc Diesels and its great fun and 4 must be something else.

That B17 looked like a real handful, I'd liked to have seen the landing!

Awesome!!! And I thought my Cox P-40 was cool in the 70's! (Can't count how many times I glued it back together)
