    Christmas is coming and I know a few young fellas who would love a control line airplane. I see Eflight sells a timer for $10... Anyone got any?

    Hmm.....A profile control line wouldn't be hard to do, and would be easy to replace when the inevitable happens...

    I have never flown control line, but I think it might be fun to try....

    The build would be easy enough.....I would simply redraw a cut file to eliminate the ailerons, and leave the rudder so you could use it to adjust the line tension. You could use thin brass strips as hinges for the rudder, so you would be able to set the control deflection, to keep line tension.

    As for the bellcrank, just cut one out of lite ply...

    Hmm...if I get some time, I might have to work on that...
