If I could find the video, it has already been done.  Even doing loops and inverted flight.   Still not control line as it is using radio for the up and down.

Some people are dedicated to this stuff.  It is pretty neat.

Why didn't he use just one line?  That's pretty clever.  Could that become a new AMA Nats event?

I'm actually part way there.  I fly an electric stunter with 2.4 GHz R/C motor control instead of the usual Hubin timer.  But I still use 2 lines and conventional elevator/flap control.  The R/C transmitter is clipped to a spare belt.  Looks hokey, but it works.

Mark Weiss built one for the Joe Nall over two years ago. It is a small plane with a .15 on it I think. I was able to do loops, squares, eights (vertical and horizontal), and fly inverted. I crashed on the square eights...

Yeah,RTP like Phil said. One of our English friends over at coxengineforum had no place to fly but a tiny garden plot. He wanted to enter our Cox engine flight-time contest, so we watched his thread while, through trial and error, he got his RTP setup with a small 1/2A plane worked out. Not as easy as you would imagine on first thought.

My phone refuses to play the video, so I don't know if that's our buddy or not.

Boring!

Also, typical RC landing (semi-controlled crash)!

Thanks!

Hey some of us did learn to land while flying RC planes.   Like control line, it takes practice.

Jim Walker made a pylon control for one of his Fireball planes.  He was outside the circle with a control "stick".  The whole thing was simple, all using 2 wires, although I don't know how he made the "slip ring" conversion to circular.
