Many thanks should go to Mike May for doing a sterling job keeping the original site going, it is after all our shopfront to the world. I hope I can keep the flag flying and at the same time make it easier for anyone that may eventually follow in my footsteps.

Carrier-Deck flying?
Control-Line model flying as we know it has been around since 1938, and even earlier in 1879 if you count powered tethered models.
It’s a half-way house between free flight (“chuck it and chance it”) and radio control.
Control-line models are physically flown by the pilot, who uses a handle and a set of thin steel wires attached to the aeroplane to give control over the height at which the plane flies, and to limit its flight path to a circle (for Carrier, usually 60 feet in radius)
Carrier-Deck is one of many different types of control-line flying. It’s one of the simplest to describe (flying a simulated mission from an aircraft carrier) but one of the most difficult to perfect…
This site has all the info you need to build a model of your own and enter competitions; have a look at the Plans & Projects pages for something to build, and check out the Comp-Calendar for somewhere to fly!
