LineMaster 2.4GHz the next generation of Control Line handles

I find that the ability to detatch the "radio" portion from the "lines" portion to have appeal. Not only can you have setups for multiple models without having to readjust the handle every time, you can also take the "radio" to the airplane to manipulate the throttle for starting and tuning the engine. Personally I would feel better with the safety thong actually looping around the "lines" part of the handle for added safety.

Bill Bischoff, planning to fly carrier again soon.

Peter Mazur:
There could be a problem using the neat feature to remove the handle from the lines during engine start procedures. Removing the actual handle from the part attached to the lines and then reconnecting it is similar to removing a conventional handle from the lines by removing the line connectors and then reconnecting them. In each case, in competition the control system would have to be pull tested again. This problem does not occur in systems where the radio component is separate from the handle component and only the radio is removed, leaving the handle-lines connection intact.

I think this is a great ideal.  Back in 2014 I repackaged an RC car Tx & Rx to fit on top of a control line handle.  Worked great.  I haven't flown scale in years but your unit looks great.  My only question due to the low volume demand for U-control stuff will it be affordable to have parts molded?  Pictures attached of my one of a kind from 2014.  I used it in a Brodak LA-5 electric.

Paul Smith:
I saw these at Muncie.  You can't hardly compete without them.
I expect to need three for scale and six for carrier as soon as I get the airplanes ready.

John Rist:
I notice that the throttle is spring loaded trigger.  How hard is it to control up down while holding a steady trigger setting. on my home brew units the throttle was set with a slide switch under the thumb.  Once set it stayed put.  Just wondering from the people that have used a trigger throttle how does it feel.  Is it hard to hold a steady throttle setting and fly the airplane?  Just wondering?   ???   ???
