Komet Stunt Control Line Balsa Kit from Aero-Naut, Wingspan 1380mm

Control line is a simple way of flying a model aircraft using a pair of lines connected to a handle which control the elevator. The flyer stands in the centre with the powered model flying in circles around him/her and performs aerobatic manoeuvres. Control line flying offers the opportunity to have some serious fun without the expense of radio control.

There is renewed interest in control line flying and Aero-Naut, the well known German manufacturer, has a number of models in their range to meet demand. Being all balsa wood kits they give modellers the chance to work with this great material and hone their building skills.

The Komet is a sturdy stunt model that has enormous maneuverability and is the ideal competition model. It has had great successes when flown at championships and competitions worldwide. With glow plug motors of 5-6 cm (29 to 35 cu. in.) the model reaches speeds of 90-110 km/h (56-68 mph).

The model kit contains full size construction plans with detailed, multi-lingual building instructions, stamped and printed wooden parts, planking veneer, covering paper, etc.
