CL building and racing is a gentleman's thrill ride
THE MOST ACCESSIBLE CL Racing events are Super Slow Rat (SSR) and its
evil twin, Fox Race, which are often flown combined. The reasons are many, but at the
top of the list are that the models fly well
and that the pace is within many pilots'
physical abilities.
Little Tiger
THIS IS A SIMPLE, multipurpose low-cost Profile Proto Speed model that is easy to construct and offers plenty of fun for kids and adults. Profile Proto is an excellent entry level event for anyone who is interested in Control Line Speed flying. It's an exciting pastime that's bound to get your adrenaline flowing. Little Tiger has had a good record at AMA Nationals, placing first in Junior in 1995 (and second in 1996); in Open class it placed third in 1995-6-7 and first in 1998. With slight modifications, the model has served a couple of different purposes. It began as a trainer for my stepson, Jeff Macapinlac, in early 1995. Since then it has been primarily a contest model. CONSTRUCTION It is very important to make Proto Speed models as light as possible, for good acceleration at takeoff. My model weighs approximately seven ounces.
