Control Line Combat is an exciting sport in which pilots fight in a simulated dogfight with miniature aircraft. Each airplane tows a paper streamer behind, and the object is to cut pieces of this streamer off of the back of one's opponent's plane. At speeds of over 100 mph and turns in excess of 30g's, this makes for an adrenaline pumping, action-packed event that is great for competitors and spectators alike.

How could you ever think Control line was boring. NO control line model is boring You can race around making your plane go over 100 km/h(Speed) You can race with three peaple in one circle trying to win (Team racing) You can do loops,eights,squares and alot more (Stunt) You can battle other peaple while doing loops,eights,etc. Or you can get a nice pleasent model and just fly. Either way just flying level is fun. Oh and the planes don't get tangled because you move the handel to a lot of places.
