Dragon
SLOW COMBAT is a most popular control line event in many parts of the country. Despite its strong following, there has been an almost complete absence of kits or published plans. This is probably a result of the continuous series of rules changes that have eliminated most of the competitive designs every two years. In 1977, inboard tanks and very short noses prevailed. The 78-79 rules stretched noses to 5 in., while deregulating tank location and deleting landing gears. The 1980-81 book outlawed all forms of inboard tanks. Fortunately, there are no changes for 1982-83 that will disallow any equipment. Considering the rules instability, it's easy to see why no one has had time to produce a kit or a magazine article. One positive effect of this has been an interesting variety of equipment at every contest.
