Wow... that is really beautiful!

How did you tune the AoA, etc?

It's wonderful as it is... but Could you add a rudder and cut the tether if you were so inclined?

Only if the wires break.. could happen. I have great memories of flying 1/2A control line planes when I was a kid.

That would bring a whole new meaning to the term 'propellor head'! But, it's hard to beat the 'beers in the hat' for coolness, IMO.

Ozzy is not the terror that he used to be. He didn't go after this one. He's mellowing with age.

Thanks Smokes,

A long time ago, I designed this airframe for Plantraco Butterfly gear and it flies great with the Plantraco gear. However, I've found that this is a much cheaper way of flying it. It has a few degrees of positive wing incidence and the CG is about 40% back from the front of the center wing rib, that is where the line is connected, right at the CG with a balsa stick leader mounted on the stick fuse.
