Flys well, IMHO better than the full bodied version. |

Fuselage tissued in red and yellow. Exhaust stacks are the only parts from the original fuse. |

Finishing touches to the nose. The doublers eliminated the need for nose weight. |

Removable tail held in place with magnets. Nose doublers allow removable wing and add weight and strength to the nose. |

A couple of months ago, we decided to recycle the remains into a profile version. |

| Thanks for the comment, James. The single line method that I am currently using doesn't allow elevator control. There is more complex two line system of swing control that has elevator control just like the powered control line models have. I've not yet reached the level of coordination needed to manipulate the two line system of swing control. Perhaps. in time I will get to that point. However, I am learning to turn with the model as I swing the model around. I had been away from controline for a long time, so I lost the ability to turn around with the model without getting dizzy and disorientated. Plus all that stuff in my ear and head that deals with dizziness isn't what it used to be for me.
One plus with the single line system is that you can control the speed of the model while swinging it by putting more of your arm/shoulder into it and get the model moving faster. This helps to maintain control when flying in breezy conditions. |

| Nice action shot. So this swing control is like a low-speed control-line? You have elevator control? |

| Please excuse the wrinkles, took it out for a night test flight and it was kinda humid. Thinned white glue finish is not moisture stable. |

Flying in the backyard. 50F temp and 15 mph wind. |
