Flew a Nobler back in the 60s....this brings back memories.

[@paulchsney5994]

I also flew a Nobler in the 70’s, or it flew me, not completely sure…….😊

[@tonywild8103]

Thanks for the great video. I’m picking up a nobler tomorrow so hoping to relive the good old days.

[@magicvids6771]

Tony! a Nobler is exactly the right thing to do! very nostalgic, yet a good airplane, a modern powerplant and it's a winner! Stay away from a Fox unless that's a part of the experience you're after! LOL. Welcome back to Control line, These are the good old days!

You'll be impressed by the price of today's kits--the same ones which, back in our youths were quite affordable to teenagers.

Great to see CL is not dead. My childhood in the early 60s was spent on Thunderbird Bob Palmer and Nobler by George Aldridge designs. AT that time 35 Fox were the motors to use.Beautiful models. This is from Johannesburg SA.

Hi Ken! Great to hear from you is SA! youtube is a great tool. There are some more CL vids here on the channel. If you search two much and Bruce perry there are a couple more vids on youtube. our club is on FB under Alberta Control line flying club if you would like to see more of our stuff.

[@petermiles55]

The only thing missing was the smell of nitro-methane. That really took me back. I only once flew stunt. I mainly flew combat and rat race which was highly competitive back in Sydney Australia in the 70's. I have since taken up R/C modelling due to this Covid debacle. Great video and some beautiful models. Many laser cutters are reproducing kits from the 70's and 80's which suits me.

[@magicvids6771]

thanks Peter!

[@ClassicFIHD]

I had a few Rat Racers in the early 70's too. Also, currently flying R/C as well.

[@earlwheelock7844]

The only problem with those lazer cut kits are the PRICE!! ( they are HORRIBLY expensive) a kit you used to pay $14.95 for are now over $100.00 !!!

[@michelemarchese259]

Many compliments! Beautiful model!!!

[@kevinwaterman7140]

Back in the 60’s I bought a COX Control-line Bush plane that came with wheels, skies, and pontoons. Unfortunately without any clubs in the area I was never able to get that plane airborne. Between control-line flying vs RC flying I would think control-line would give the pilot a better feel for how plane was flying over a RC control plane. Are there many people who fly both control-line and RC aircrafts?

[@derekinbritishcolumbia1449]

Many of us RC guys started with CL in our youth. A couple at my RC club still bring a CL plane out to fly for some change and to have some fun.

[@FlyNineVictor]

Canadian modelers are so with it! The coolness of this antique mode of flight is undoubtedly lost on most American rc "pilots" Very cool! From a not so proud American...

[@magicvids6771]

Hi! thanks for the good words! If you're on YT, search "control line" I think it will surprise you the vast number of videos and the world wide depth of our part of the hobby. You're absolutely correct the current group of rc enthusiasts are no longer "modellers". The hobby has become "toys R us for bigger boys". Control line Stunt is still an event where builder of the model rule still exists at a national level. This generally means we have to build our entries. Thus, you see some really cool unique stuff. Thanks again for the good comments!

Great landing and flight. Good thing the outboard engine quit first.

[@magicvids6771]

Hey Joel! thanks for coming by the Channel. I have had the inboard quit first several times, the first time I was pretty excited! I ran around whipping the model in case it would turn in!!! It didn't have any tendency to yaw wildly at all! Two Much has a LONG tail and big v-fin. So whether inside or outside, it continues along happily! I have metered the fuel loads now so that the engines shut down very closely to together. That's a cool look.

[@MrSuzuki1187]

@@magicvids6771 Magic, I fly and teach flying in twin engine (real) airplanes so I am cognizant of engine out flying. I started flying control line models in 1962 at ag 12 and those models led me to a 55 year long career as a pilot including 29 years flying for United Airlines. I have always believed that my flying career started the day I was able to fly a full tank of fuel without crashing my Baby Ringmaster in March of 1962. You were smart to meter fuel loads and have a long tail fin. Those are what kept you out of trouble when the critical engine, which is what we call the engine that has the greatest effect if it fails, on your plane, quit. I once built a 1/2 A model with two engines and always started the outboard engine first, which I think is what you do when you say you meter the fuel loads. I still have a Baby Ringmaster on a stand in my office, but have not flown it yet. I really love control line flying and would never fly R/C. Hey, I fly the real ones!

Great footage showing some real skill from those polits. We don't have as many resources in the UK for this disappearing type of model aircraft; my Dehavilland Mosquito is as yet unflown and am curious to whether my two McCoy 35 Redheads it was intended for are really capable. - What are your thoughts with these engines?

Hi Tim, thanks for the kind words. Which Mossie did you build? the Jack Sheeks version? I have another big twin with two OS 35S engines and it's plenty for that! I'm sure the two McCoys would be A-ok! Let me know if you would like to chat about it! Bruce

Control line brings me back to when I was a kid.But I quickly upgraded to R/C which is more realistic.Planes don't fly with strings attached to them.Im not picking on that aspect of the hobby,I just love R/C much better.I also never mastered control line I always crashed and got dizzy.

[@magicvids6771]

Control Line isn't for everyone, it takes an intense focus and the difference between a 6 foot pullout and a crash is a split second! Generally, most control line models are built by the flier and not an ARF. This adds a great deal to the event as it takes great courage to risk hundreds of hours doing what we do. Recently, we have had a few RC guys upgrade their modeling experiences and join Control line.

[@Dbassman999]

Beautiful twin engined airplane. Great flight. The sound is amazing. One question. Is there a reason to have the engines run both in the same sense? Wouldn't it be helpful to have them contra rotating for precession and gyroscopic effects? Keep up the good work!!

[@magicvids6771]

Hi Paul, the original had two foxes in 1966 so this keeps with the authenticity as well as there seems to be very little negative effect with two engines turning the same way. Thanks for the good words.

[@MURDOCK1500]

[@earlwheelock7844]

What happens if the inside engine quits first?

[@magicvids6771]

Hi Earl. That’s happened many times. It’s really a nonevent. There is a slight change in yaw but it doesn’t become difficult to control in anyway. The thrust lines are near the fuse centre and this helps too. Thanks for reaching out. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@magicvids6771]

Control line is a significant step up from RC and many persons find it difficult to transition. This is much more intense flying than being several hundred feet up and flying circuits over and over. I think you would enjoy the challenge of control line. Let us know if you have any questions.

[@joehostile4541]

Why does everyone fly the same manoeuvres?

[@magicvids6771]

Hi Joe, Thanks for asking. The reason we all fly the same routine is because we are competing to see who does the routine the best. The Pattern is the same internationally, it was developed in the USA in 1952 and has been pretty much the same since. Much like golf, the perfect flight is elusive! However, a hole in one for us is devastating! LOL I hope this answers what you were looking for!

Never understood control line. It was initially free-flight for me as a kid until later in life when I was able to afford R/C. Endless circles was Not my bag. Although some of these reverses are cool.

[@philmann3476]

Big difference in control line is that you actually feel the airplane in your hand -- something you don't get with free-flight or RC. May not be a big thing for most, but when I flew these things as a kid, that solid, vibrating pull against your hand combined with the nearby engine noise was something else -- and a cause of panic if the lines got slack and the pull went away, meaning you better get them tight again pretty quick or else. Hard to explain but you really got the sense YOU were actually flying. Sadly, noise complaints from neighbors ultimately grounded us kids. But can well understand it's not everyone's cup of tea.

[@brax2364]
