This site is my number one site and there is more than stunt on it.  Have been working on the computer and found I was going wrong way with  the browser button.

The fact that the site covers every type of CL activity is the best part, racing, speed, stunt, scale, combat (probably missed a few)...you can find it here.

The best place to advertise an event or contest results. I learn something every time I read thru the posts people put on the site

With the world going digital these days sites like this are becoming more and more important

quote from Sparky - "When I started this forum I would have never guessed to get this kind of traffic."

Hey Robert, when you have a good product.....

Or...if you build it, they will come...

You have both a good product and we are comming!  (Every day for me.)

Congratulations, you built a great website. Making everyone register their real name is unusual, but in this case I think it is one of the keys to getting and keeping honest members. Lots of interesting smart folks here. I wish I had known about it a lot sooner.

I think what Paul is really saying, Sparky, is that all of us who use this site are giving you a pat on the back.  You done good!

I remember when you did the 'miraculous' build of your Spitfire on SSW... then let us in on some pics of the customer's Harley you were finishing. (2 'wows'!)

There was a new site that appeared, 'Stunthanger'...when I saw who was in charge, I knew it'd be the one.

I suspect that every year, about this time in July and August, many thoughts turn to the Nats and W.C.  Much of recent traffic has been concerned with this.  These forums are a great place to get the news in "real time", instead of waiting months for the print media.

I'm not surprised at all!

Robert is dedicated. His Wold Class CL Forum, Stunt Hanger, will grow much more as interest in CL modeling increases. And it will!

The Forum, has become a really favorable and delightful place, as it should be. Just one big happy family.

And it makes a great difference as viewed by any "guest" who may peek in that we stay this way.

The exchange of ideas, workmanship, modeling, and as one modeler said, all in "real time."

I've said this before, you cannot show me a better World Class CL Forum than Robert's Stunt Hanger.

I'm prowd to be a small part of it.

Keep up the good work Robert.  H^^

I think that the numbers do not reflect everything or everyone that this forum touches.  I read it for quite some time before joining.  I know of several others who read but do not join.  In control line there seems to be quite a few "Lone Wolfs" who go it alone or just two or three hanging together.  That is how it is here.  I think most of the Lone Wolf types can be brought back to the  pack through efforts such as these.  Most of  these folks  have the perception of being abandoned by the AMA years ago.  I didn't say it was true but it is a pretty common feeling.   I will get off my soapbox and will agree with everybody else that Stunt Hanger is the best thing since the end of  Prohibition.

 My re- interest in C/L has grown substantially since finding Stunthanger. I can finally read about airplanes that model builders take the time to share their BUILDING and Finishing techniques online. Its the first site i check each day along with my email! Great site......Gene
