October 2007, Switzerland: C/L Scale Fly-In

Flying his aircraft with own hands, what could be more rewarding for the scale aeromodelling enthusiast? Actually feeling the engine and guiding the aircraft in flight is probably as close as you can get to the vibrations of a Rolls-Royce Merlin.

In an attempt to promote the building and flying of control-line scale models, the swiss c/l community invites builders and flyers of F4B and semi-scale c/l model airplanes to join a fly-in in Switzerland.

Event
Informal meeting of c/l scale enthusiasts

October 6 and 7, 2007

Meet new friends, share knowledge among experts, present projects and fly together

Dedicated control line site Hard 2000, located in Untersiggenthal, Switzerland, some 25 Km from Zurich. The site has a hard surface circle allowing a max. cable length of 21.5 m.

Excellent, Alan. The site is located on the other side of Stilli village, not far from the big concrete plant with the tall red/white marked chimney. Coordinates are 47°30'52" North and  8°14'06" East. Its less than 10 minutes from Villigen and there is, weather permitting, flying going on on most weekends April - October. Please send me a message when over here next time.
