As the name suggests, this model is a so-called control line model for
electric Power.
This is the oldest form of model aircraft control, dating back to the time
before radio remote controls. With the advent of radio remote controls,
this method has faded somewhat into the background, but even today many
racing categories are flown with control-line models and enjoy great
popularity. And we know why it’s tremendous fun! After all, Mr. Jaromr
Schindler wrote in 1954:
“The importance of control line model aircraft lies primarily in the fact
that the model builder becomes familiar with the function of the elevator
when flying a control line model, sometimes at the cost of destroying the
model.”
The controls are very simple and limited to the elevator. We are aware
that the Flash CL is primarily intended as a training model. Therefore,
we have adjusted the flight characteristics accordingly: The model flies
slower than is typical for other control-line models, but remains stable
even during the wildest inversions.
Although it’s a training model, it can perform all aerobatic maneuvers.
The flight characteristics are pleasant, and in the event of a crash, the
model can be easily repaired with regular superglue. Further advantages
include its compact size and low purchase price (no RC system required).The motor can be controlled in two ways: either via any standard radio
control receiver or via a dedicated timer.Technical specificationsWingspan = 870 mmLength = 865 mmFlying weight = 250 gOptional accessories (Not Included):Brushless motor4Brushless speed controllerAPC 9×4.6 propeller
