I was searching youtube for one thing and found this instead.  Not C/L, but really awesome. Thought I'd share.

Did I hear correctly?  He said weight is 4 KG.  That is 8.8 pounds!  How can it fly so slowly at that weight?

Did you notice the flaps?  That is awesome watching it on video.  I still wonder about these domed stadiums as maybe getting permission to fly electric in doors when they are not in use for an event, sporting or concert.  Of course control line would have to contend with its own turbulence.  Also is there enough light that the stadium lights would not be used.   Would be great when the weather out side is impossible, wind and rain pus snow.  Thanks for the video and tell the gentleman he is one great modeler and flier.   Looked very realistic to me.

 Pretty interesting to see something that large flown so well in such a small space. What makes it even cooler is that he's doing it all with a scale Warbird instead of some 3D P.O.S. that's basically designed for hanging in the air. Excellent flying skills too, notice how precisely on-the-mark the landing was and how well he greased it in? Very well done.  y1

The full size Corsair had a wing area of 314 sq ft so a 1/4 scale has an area of 19.625 sq ft. A weight of 8.8 pounds is 141 ounces so its wing loading is ~7.2 ounces/sq ft.
