ABOUT
A practical introduction to the specialised discipline of control line (C/L) model flying.

Warring explains the principles that make a tethered model fly a stable circular path - line tension, thrust offset, lead outs, and the aerodynamic compromises unique to C/L design. He breaks down the construction of typical stunt, speed, and trainer models, showing how structure, balance, and control surface geometry must be adapted for the demands of line controlled flight.

Also covers flying technique including take offs, maintaining smooth line tension, basic manoeuvres, and the progression toward aerobatics, along with troubleshooting common problems such as slack lines, over control, and engine issues.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images, drawings and diagrams.
