ONE OF the valued items of equipment in the flight box of a control-line flier is a good dependable stooge. This item makes it possible for the control line flier to fly alone. The purpose of the stooge is to act as a helper and hold the model in place on the flight line after the engine has been started, while the flier walks to the center of the circle. Upon the command of the flier the stooge then releases the model for flight. A good stooge is hard to find. However, Arlie Preszler of Lodi, CA has developed and is sharing with us an excellent super stooge which works well and is easy to build. This stooge provides a very positive hold and releases very reliably. The super stooge is compact and fits easily into your flight box. This assures that it will be with you when you arrive at the flying field and there is no one in sight to act as your helper. The super stooge is really easy to clean too.
