Well...

While it's been quite a while for most of these events, but I have flown in competition in the past:

Fast Rat; Slow Rat; Goodyear; Formula Unlimited; Fast Combat; Slow Combat; Profile Carrier; Stunt; Balloon Bust; 1/2A, A, B, Free Flight;

Okay you asked...  and I am talking many years ago when I was a Jr/Sr.

I have flown and won mostly 1st place; lots of 2nd and some 3rd place trophies in:
Fast Combat
Slow Combat
Sport Scale (I won 1st at the 80 Nats)
Profile Carrier(I won 2nd at the 80 Nats)
Ballon Burst
Limbo
Stunt
Combined above were over 120 trophies in a three year period.

I also was the Jr./Sr. high point winner 3 yr. in a row while our club were members in the NY Association of Control Line Clubs.
I had a Stiletto 660 that won a concours award for the best Monokote finish. Windy U. happen to have been one of the judges.
 
Thank you and God Bless

I know this may sound corney but it really makes a nobody like me feel proud to have met guys like you and so many others who have accomplished and given so much to this hobby; guys like the "Coach", Carl China, Duke Fox, Dave Brown, Russ Miller, Dave Wallick, Dave Platt, Gene Martine and that's just to name a few, the names I can remember at the moment!!  ;D.  Bob, you're all right!!  H^^

Controline: Combat and Rat Race before there was slow rat, slow combat, or even F2D. Monoline Speed: A, B, B Proto and C, when C was .65's and there weren't any silly events. Currently flying "Precision Aerobatics" competitively in Advanced or bottom feeder in Expert.

Free Flight: Have flown most of the AMA gas classes, a lot of F1A (Nordic towline glider), a little F1B Wakefield, a little F1C power.

R/C: We flew CL, FF and R/C until I was a Sr. in HS, and then I dropped R/C. But I flew escapement Rudder Only, reeds for rudder & elevator, and even flew a friend's pulse rudder-only plane for his first flight. Meh.

Hmm, if I go back a bit:

AMA fast combat (a lot of that), slow combat, Formula 40, B Proto and stunt. P-30 and Hand Launch for FF. A bit of Turnaround Pattern and briefly Pylon (Quickee). A bit of park flyer of late. Trophies in some, occasionally.
