Control line Manual by Ron Moulton

Here is my recently purchased book, Control Line Manual printed in 1965. Its an excellent source of control line information from the 1950's and 1960's. I regularly got this book out of the library when I was at school. My wife laughed when I told her it was published in 1965.

Al Rabe rudder

Well my Sig stunter (can't remember which model but its in the same range of the Super Chipmunk) was never a great flyer in outsides. So I was reading up about the Rabe rubber which I have on a stunter I purchased and decided to try it. So it works as designed i.e. right rudder on down and slightly less on up. Still have to try it. I have also put a OS46LA up from as well. Hopefully that will help line tension.

Last night at Te Whiti park for summer 2010/2011

Another Summer Series comes to an end. Drat... another cold winter to look forward to.
