A wee item of interest for Marty here.

Actually I have planes for a 114" span one that I have had for a while. Just need some "man shed" time to start on it.

People used to do that with control line aircraft back in the old days. I bet with some creative thinking they could come up with a better and more realistic way of doing that.

Does anyone think that these videos are real?

Control line combat is still very popular and yes the videos you posted the link to are for real we have guys in our club that fly like that all the time not my thing but cool to watch

Chris .. that is Soooo Cool having the Wilga and Pawnee used as tow aircraft .. BRILLiANT !

Loved watching the Wilga it flew so nice looked like lots of fun

I'm a Wilga devotee... what a brilliant concept for a day's gliding!
Would have loved to see that, thanks for posting.

Was a great two days of Gliding pilots attended from both ends of the country.

Here's a few more pics

Outstanding aircraft. What a great event.
I wonder if the Pawnee is a World models ARF that has been given the scale treatment?
Thanks for sharing.

Well that's interesting I have never seen RC gliders towed up by RC aircraft before looks quite cool but I imagine quite difficult to do since you have to remain in formation with the tow aircraft.

The Pawnee is 33% from Hanger 9 powered by a 111cc petrol motor. Website
I love watching the gliders, it is the most scale like models you can get. What these guys can do with these models is amazing

That is awesome and a sure winner at the Jet Masters. Seriously this guy must be loaded, single and childless and have the patience of a saint:)
I was amazed at how stable it was in flight.
