Control line flying at Trentham


The photo is of my Sig control liner flying at the club flying site. The flying site doesn't see many control liners so it was good to do a few circles.

Curare 40


I purchased this in an auction and it was built by one of the better builders in the club. I've powered it with a Magnum XL 40 engine (twin ball race) (a .46 wouldn't fit). I've fitted an OS carb off a OS 32 helicopter engine. Test flew it today and it flys well. Impressed with the engine, given that its either a Chinese or Taiwanese in origin.

Have had a couple more flights. She lands faster than I would like (I don't want to stall it at the vital moment).
