I love the sound of the rich fuel mixture causing the engine to four stroke until the plane gets enough speed to increase the air intake to convert to two stroke. Makes me dizzy watching the pilot spinning. I used to fly combat so we had the luxury of not having to spin around so much. Speed was never my thing maybe because our flying field was grass only. Control line was a time of innocence. When we built our own planes from design to cutting the parts. A sport even a kid with an after school job could afford. In my time RC was for the rich guys only.

My control line exploits as a kid ended after half a lap of my first C/L kit plane. There was this wooden crate on the field that was closer than it looked. It crushed my expectations and ended my dreams, including my dreams of RC. I quit all aeromodelling. Couldn't take it. My parents felt sorry for me and bought me a replacement kit, which I still have, unstarted, up in the attic.

Halman, Eisener and Ken-M were the true modelers period possibly the lemon drop kid ! Eastern European teams were just operator's as the complete FAI modeling was payed by the Russian government ! in the early 80's after about 6 contests in 10 years Russia came from nowhere with rule book correct FAI speed entrants also some exposure of rules ! the norm was highly modified ROSSI engines the Commies completely designed and made there superior engines in house ! the Russian's cleaned up ! this year the team had military escorts ! 2 years later the next world championships the military was gone and every team was getting the Russian's pissed nightly and buying everything they had after the contest ! I personally saw many of these east block exotic engines ! History points out one Carl Dodge kept developing his own bar stock R/R engines and 2 years later he beat the Euro-trash !

Yes, he did...the handle he's holding is used to control the up and down elevator of the model, one line for up, one for down....after it's timed for 10 laps, a quick application of down elevator triggers a fuel shutoff device inside the model,stopping the motor...in the olden days the pilot would sometimes just fly the whole tank out, but that's really hard to do now the models are flying at 300 kph plus!

Why did the engine sound change suddenly? Did the engine come on the pipe? Or was there a throttle control and he waited a couple of laps until he had it trimmed out ?
@geebee3d2 жыл бұрын
I believe that the engine is warmed up in the first few laps, and then the pilot starts to muscle the plane around the circle. This brings it up to full pitch speed by temporarily unloading the prop.

Mais non et heureusement la traction se fait sur le pylône le pilote durant toute la base commande le vol de l'avion et tout doit etre anticipé avec au minimum 3/4 de tour d'avance car à ces vitesse tout est amplifié et il faut tout contrôler tout en veillant à ne pas laisser l'avion vous surprendre en prenant de l'avance. Notez que cette catégorie la vitesse FAI EST TRES COMPLEXE ET les compétiteurs sont tous de très bons modéliste tres expérimentés et des Motoristes très techniques

@@Toscanto Yeah, obviously - you can see him gliding his control in the fork. But that's not what I meant. I believe the total amount of force on the central pole, with that plane at that speed, must be enormous. You can see it bending in the video.
