WITH THE PUBLICATION of this model, I would like to introduce a different philosophy in Control Line Precision Aerobatics. The Stuntfire is a semi-scale Stunter with a profile and planform suggestive of a late-model Spitfire. But, rather than being a semi-scale model that is meant to approximate the performance of a conventional Stunter, the Stuntfire is an attempt to improve on the performance of the conventional Stunter. Since high parasitic drag is a part of my formula for high performance, the bulky semi-scale airframe of this model fits nicely. As a bonus, it provides an impressive appearance.
