Hi!

I've been back in Malaysia the last ten years or so. Not so much Combat here, though - I have to travel to Indonesia and Singapore for competitions. Haven't been flying too much control line the last 2-3 years, other than the odd competition, simply no group to fly with, but that may change. I used to fly CL at an RC field some years back but I got away from that mainly because it was a bunch of unorganized fliers (no frequency control, even) and it was an accident waiting to happen.

Most of my flying time these days is doing, strangely enough, indoor free flight rubber. Those Ikara kits are quick to build and fly nice, and there are a couple shopping malls around here where we can fly into the early AM on weekends. Plus, there's a group of us. I've broken four minutes with an Ikara Bulldog and am shooting for five.

Rusty, Hello, Jim here, I'm pretty new to this forum, but I'm on the other forum's routinely and I fly a lot of control line. You might consider a S-1 Ringmaster. It's and easy build and will fly like the dickens with a fox .35 on it. You won't have to worry about wind so much when you want to fly. The Ringmaster has a smaller airfoil and thus it likes to fly fast like you have said you like. only thing is it is prone to stalling if you don't have the control's set up right. Most of us that fly them tend to move the pushrod closer to the pivot point on the bellcrank by making a new hole. another good choice is the SIG Twister. Cheap kit and fly's well. Once you start building and flying bigger planes you will love them. I've gone backwards. I'm in a club here in Albuquerque and I learned to fly on a All American Senior with a .29 torpedo on it. Then went on to a Oriental and then a Ringmaster and a Twister. I'm just now starting to build and fiddle with 1/2A a little. There fun to build but I find them more challenging to fly. Just some thoughts....

Thanks, Jim. Welcome to CEF. My initiation to bigger planes was postponed by weather Sunday. I was invited to come out and fly one of the members' Goldberg Shoestring with a .40 on it. That was disappointing, especially when the weather cleared up shortly after the mission was scrubbed.

Neutral I don't 'do' underpowered planes Rusty but you've seen my Old
Timer being hauled around by my 09rc. I think that engine with
The Cox 7x3.5 prop combo is pretty impressive. If it had ailerons
It would prop hang which for a 55in 25.5 oz model is
IMPRESSIVE.
As for the leckie boys I hate to say it but with my RC head
On I'm starting to come round slowly. The technology really has
Now outpaced IC. I'm surprised one of you guys haven't tried
It on your C/l's yet.
As an aside.
Our club nearly lost it's premium field recently because of the
'noise police'.
As a result gassers are now persona non grata unless they have
A proper cannister fitted, we know we're going to lose guys in
The New Year Cos the reason they buy gassers is because they're 'careful'
With their money and won't want to buy 150 quids worth of
Silencer.
I have to wait till Mr DB Meter goes home before the Peewee'd
Bacaruda comes out.

I have witnessed some pretty impressive performances by electric planes, big ol planes too.
But that noise business just blows. Is it really bothering people? What is it they can't do during the day without the world around them being quiet as a monastery?
Mad Just ranting, pay no attention to the crazy man with the nitromethane.

I think it's just a personal choice. I'm good with that as long as the "lekkies" don't overtake the market.

Nitro Rules!!!! lol!

I see and understand the advantages of electric power, it's just not for me.

It's coming unfortunately boys.
The Japanese have banned 30% recently.
I don't think my Great Grand kids will run
These things.

When the OS ads in the mags are for motors
Instead of mota's you know things are changing.

PS
I agree nitro for ever
Hopefully

Stange that recreational marijuana is being legalized in some US states and nitro fuel is being threatened.

How paradoxical.

Nor will they be rebuilding '69 Camaros with 4-bolt 350s and Rat motors and Muncie Rock Crushers. But of course Tom Paris restored one on the holodeck on Startrek Voyager. That was my favorite Star Trek series.

The face of EVIL!

Your engines will giggle out of context and forget which way they were going. Instead of tiger teeth, you'll have to paint smiles and John Lennon sunglasses on the nacelles.
