Not Control-line, but pretty cool...
« on: March 09, 2021, 06:19:28 PM »
I believe this was sent to me several weeks ago by Lanny Shorts. It's not control-line but I was very impressed with the flying.



Then I found this one on YouTube also:




Enjoy,
Dennis

Bravo!!!

I enjoyed every second, including the music. A stunning pair of performances.

I fear I’ve wasted my 10,000 hours trying to learn stunt.
Thx for posting

Hello

Well that done it convinced me to stick to my vintage screaming glow and diesel engines, painted vintage stunt models, combat wings and scale models that look and fly like airplanes must be too old now....
I find it too hard to stomach the image and the music now, but admit they have talent twiddling their transmitter sticks
Did enjoy flying indoor electric in the distant past and flew the 'Phoenix simulator' then went back to only control line after my sons kept telling me off for flying r/c!

Regards Gerald

Jim, I'm just happy that we don't have to figure out how to make our planes perform in reverse! Imagine how many hours of practice that would take and how many planes one would go through to accomplish that!!  HB~> HB~>

Thanks for the videos,  Very entertaining.   Wonder how much one of those little jewels cost.  The third video with the Corsair I really liked.  The knows what he is doing when he reversed directions in the arena.  The other pilots did great too keeping full control.    Is it possible to do some thing this in the states? H^^

By the way can you imagine a real man carrying aircraft doing what the first videos show.  I have seen planes hang on the prop and do some of the stuff, but never back up vertically.  ???
