3. Control line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_line

   Control-Line airplanes usually have a power plant of 0.049 cubic inches (0.80 cm 3) to 0.60 cubic inches (9.8 cm 3), although engines can be as large as .90, or may have electric power. Two-stroke glow engines are most common, but almost any form of model engine has been used, including pulse jet engines and turbojets .

   Walker's patent on the bellcrank control system was ruled void and invalid because it was determined that the system had been designed before Walker's patent and by someone else - a man named Oba St. Clair, who was the first man to fly a control line airplane (in the US) back in 1937 and the design was published in 1938. St.

   The left rotating propeller and horizontal cylinder contribute to keeping the control lines tight. A model engine is a small internal combustion engine [1] typically used to power a radio-controlled aircraft, radio-controlled car, radio-controlled boat, free flight, control line aircraft, or ground-running tether car model.

6. Round-the-pole flying - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-the-pole_flying

   Round-the-pole flying (RTP) is a form of flying model aircraft, in which the model is attached via a line from its wingtip or fuselage to a central support structure. Control signals can be passed to the model via wires alongside or integral with the attachment line.

7. Lockheed L-049 Constellation - Wikipedia

   The design was given the designation L-049 or Excalibur A. The wings of the aircraft were similar to those used by the P-38 Lightning fighter. The aircraft was to be powered by four Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone radials with the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 as the back-up. Re-designed, the Excalibur was to be priced at $450,000, making it the most ...

8. Model aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_aircraft

   Control line (C/L) model aircraft use strings or wires to tether the model to a central pivot, either held by hand or to a pole. The aircraft then flies in circles around that point, secured by one cable, while a second provides pitch control through a connection to the elevator.
