 Took the family to go see the new movie Avengers. The wife was taken by Chris Hemsworth- Thor. I had to lean over during the movie and make the connection to Control Line.

Chris Hemsworth Dad is Craig Hemsworth. And I bet as a young Thor his dad put him on the handle. <=

How can he be Thor's dad if he still has both eyes?

Anyway -- this is even less control line related, but you can show it to your wife the next time her Thor fixation crops up.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

If you do a little bit every day it will get done, or you can do it tomorrow.

Douglas :

The Bandelero uses a similar wing to the original Firecracker - Yes its on the large size 70+ oz.. Full Electric - flies well.

The man in question : Craig - his KA 10 is actually quite small - wouldnt be more than 58" Thats a super little plane.

The other Model - Starcraft is pretty close to an Impact wing. - Quite conventional size with .61 in the nose.

This photo was taken at my local club at the State Championships - Never get tired of that backdrop.
For the record - Craig is quite a low key guy - very understated and modest of Chris's success - you would'nt know he's got a huge Hollywood boxoffice star for a son!

Bandolero has  a 60" wingspan. It's just that I'm only 5'5" tall.... :(

The Bandolero has an unusual wing shape. Any bad habits?

Well I have seen Russell scratching himself mid pattern, but can't see a way to blame the wing for that.

Very funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, it flies great with no vices.

Blunt LE, forward HP and 4" LE sweep, so the balance point is half way along the LE.

Turns tight with no yawing or hinging.  ;D  (Although it does fly with about a 6 degree yaw out.)
