Can’t remember the chaps name but we watched him fly one of these on control line and he had retractable undercarriage that he operated via the the lines connected to his control handle powered with a battery pack he carried on his belt,this was at the model flying nationals held in uk in the very early sixties

Even with 4 engine running it appears to fly a little stalled in level flight.

Didnt know they got this big of sxale in control lone crazzy stuff and more sketchy then full rc cause you get dizzy doing this

What happens if the pilot gets dizzy from all the spinning?

Not sure where this was filmed but I remember a four engine scale plane looking like that flying at a WAM contest in the 1980's somewhere around Northern California. I remember each engine had the same size tank and the outer engine was started first. That caused the inner left engine to be the last running keeping the lines tight. If I recall when it was down two engines the plane needed to land and taxied on the ground until the last engine stopped. A great feat and not easy to fly. I recall the man leaning back from the pull of the heavy plane. Control line was good fun. Personally I mostly flew combat.

Копийности никакой! Плюс задняя центровка...🙄

How boring

Hi, what is the weight of the model?

idial baby macine

thats scary as hell

It looks very tail heavy

I saw him a week ago it was going great

The delightful sound of a thousand chainsaws

Lancaster!

I'm building a P-38 lightning CL plane at the moment.. it has twin .049 cox engines..

Lean into it, champ!

Это кирпич на кордах😂😂😂😂

Гарна і якісна модель. Бажаю успіхів!

Brilliant.

Hope it’s still flying.

Perfect!! I noticed that you started the outboard engines first so that they would run out of fuel first. This is how you do it with a two engine control line plane. If the inboard engine(s) quit first, the airplane will turn into the circle slackening the lines and causing a crash,

LOL FLIES LIKE A PIECE OF PLYWOOD

That’s a lot of plane. Is the wing at the right attitude on the fuselage? It looks like excessive elevator is needed to keep it flying, and that’s like air brakes.

TOTALLY STUPID

Beautiful Lancaster...professional work!

that thing don't want to fly U/C it's a boat too tail heavy put a radio in it!!

Totally amazing 😮😮😮

Wow😊

Must have a strong arm and not suffer invertigo to hang onto that

Such a beautiful model. We had the control line planes as teensages 50 years ago.

Awesome line flight! Bravo!

Absolutely marvellous

yeh... wayyy too much effort to fly in idiot circles...take it to R/C🤔👍

That's awesome but all that time and money you made it U/C, you should have put a few 100 more and built it R/C.

This was impressive but I’ve always thought control line aircraft aren’t really flying. I mean a conker on a string will ‘fly’ in this way. Even a brick on a rope would.

I cringed when I saw the pit crew member step over the model twice! Once with the flight box! Why take that risk. Just walk around! You never climb over a model. At least that is what I was taught.

its just crying for some saitos, the 2 smokers sound awful... i could lend you three fa30s if someone drags up a 4th...

That is crying out for a remote glow plug system.

Excellent. Thank you for sharing

I had one as a kid, it was a chipmunk....

Magnifique Les deux moteurs qui entraînent le modèle sont de quelle cylindrée chaque un . ..?..cc+ ....?.cc

amazing! liked and subscribed!

Jee mini creepers look at that thing! Bet it pulls hard!

Seems tail heavy?...weight in the nose?

Was hoping to see a reverse wingover. Just kidding.

Well done, Very impressive, Great vid

Grew up building and flying Control Line Airplanes. Built a Royal B-17 in the 80s. Converted it from a RC kit for my Dad. Awesome Lancaster.

Huh. Nostalgia value I guess. Lot of effort for a very limited flight profile

At least it was an outboard engine that quit. Losing one inboard, would cause enough yaw to make the lines go slack. Ask me how I know this!
