Cartoon Zero
« on: January 14, 2023, 09:16:36 PM »
As seen on the “Control Line Flying” group on facebook.  There is a lot of interesting international CL stuff that doesn’t show up here on SH.  This cartoon-style Zero is one such.  IT appears well built, it flies (there’s a video) but I don’t think it stunts, and I doubt the builder will fly it very often.

That's kinda cool.

Any idea on the specs?
Wingspan?
Engine?
Weight?
Totally custom from scratch, or kit-bashed from something else?

The video of it flying is pretty cool. Not a world beater but definitely out of the rut.

Hmmm. No real reason to distort a plane like that just for laughs. Instead, just build a true-scale Caproni Stipa:
