    Ones with propellers. Not against EDFs, prefer the longer flight time of the prop driven planes and larger wheels for the bumpy grass field I fly off.

      Whip control. There used to be kits intended for that.

      As a kid I could keep a .049 Control line model on 25 ft lines flying for 5 minutes after it ran out of fuel with that method.

      Up to 2 laps for a .35 ci glow model on 60 ft lines.
      FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

      current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

        If it is an EDF, my vote goes for an F4

          Do-335, in 1.6mm. It'd be a great pairing with the P-38. :Cool:

                        WC, I don't think I have the twin disease quite as bad as you, but I'm not very far behind. The more I fly twins, the more I love them. They are just so damn cool!

                          "So damn cool" is a pretty good summary of the way I feel also and I see that you have 4 :Cool:which will be half of what I'll have after this Sat and 4 of the 8 are larger than 80" :)

                              Freewing A-10 and Phoenix A-26 are on my I-really-want-one-really-bad list. And, I have 6 twins, if you count the UMXs: P-38, Mossie, Me-262, Bush Mule, UMX B-25, and UMX Aero Commander. :Cool:

                                  Okay, Beeg, I think that you're in the lead of the twins fan club. Which Do-335 and Ju-88 do you have?

                                    Not what I meant. It's just my "list" of desired twins. Not what I have.

                                        Hey Beeg, you missed one. How about a De Havilland DH-88 Comet??? They made 3 full-size. “Grossvenor House” (G-ACSS) painted all red, “Black Magic” (G-ACSP) painted all black and G-ACSR, name unknown. Just more food for thought........
