Since the beginning of U control line precision aerobatics......THE QUEST OF FINDING THE "HOLY-GRILL" (sic) OF U CONTROL HANDLES has always been virtually a black art science and often the results have been not always been proved as a boon' or a bust!
Only Howard can attest to the accuracy of this latest NEW'S FLASH about his latest innovative new handle that he has programmed to pefection.
Just like the newest stealth fighter planes....which could never be flown without a computer assist that is wired into the fly by wire control panels....it is rumored that our beloved brotha in balsa has taken this new technology to the stunt circle.
This find was sent to me via E mail...that if I reveiled my source I would be forever EXILED INTO CYBERSPACE BY NO JUST ONE...BUT ALL U CONTROL-LINE FORUM BOARDS and taken out to the Green River and fitted with specially fitted CEMENT-BOOTS and liken'd the Green River Killer...be thrown into the swollen river by Alfred E. Newmannnn himself.
I HEAR THAT HOWARD HAS TO WEAR FITTED GLOVES TO HIDE HIS NEW INVENTION FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON!
REMEMBER ONLY SPARKY'S STUNT HANGER HAS THIS BREAKING NEWS FIRST!!!!!
If you look closely..you will see the fitting where the control-lines themselves attached to the thumb and pinky finger...directly without the use of any handle what-so-ever! (again borrowed from those early day China-Japan based stunt flyers who utilized a similar DOULBLE RINGS that they attached to their nose pickin' finger and pinky finger. The results were quite effective in the good ol days..but with todays new highly powered and larger sized stunt models....
HOWARD THOUGHT WE NEEDED A NEW TECHNOLOGLY UPDATE!
HOWARD...PLEASE FILL US IN ON YOUR NEW FLIGHT TEST DATA AND WHEN WE CAN WITNESS SOME OF THOSE TEST FLIGHTS WITH THIS NEW CONCEPT DEVICE OF YOUR'S?
(the second photo with the pink background was the first lab concept that proved too fragile.)
