CONTROL LINE is, for me, the finest form of modeling. The models are inexpensive and easily built, they can be flown in very confined areas, and yet, at its highest levels, the competition pressure and skill requirements can be overwhelming. In my view, the fact that you are directly connected to the model gives the truest sensation of "flying," and it can, therefore, give the greatest satisfaction. Few Control Line addicts would argue that Stunt flying is not the purest form of Control Line, for it is all about pilot skill. Surely most of us dream about flying the perfect pattern. To do that you have to start some place. The Midi-Slow was where I started, and it may also suit you.
