Worlds Largest Model RC Planes

[Blacklight]

I never used to do RC. I DID used to fly control line model planes. In the competitions, I used to fly a thing called Combat where a paper streamer would be tied to the back of the plane and the object was to stand back to back with your opponent and try to clip the streamer off the tail of his plane without the two of you getting your lines tangled. You sometimes had to do some interesting gymnastics while competing to keep the other guys line from catching and wrapping around your line or you.

I also used to fly in a competition called Carrier where you would have a scale control line controlled model warplane, take it off from a ramp, make it fly around in a circle as fast as possible for several turns, then make it go around as slow as you possibly could so it was just hanging in the air for so many turns and then you had to land it back on the ramp. I STILL have my old Carrier plane and one of my old Combat planes but they havn't flown in years.
