Nats News

By John Moll

On day three of the Control Line (CL) Speed Nats, we flew A Speed, B Speed, and Sport Jet. A Speed is flown on 65-foot lines using a .15-size motor. There are six laps that are timed for speed. Chris Montagino took first place with a fast speed of 185.61 mph. I told you yesterday that things were going to go faster! Glen VanSant came very close behind in second place with a speed of 183.23 mph. James VanSant took third place with a speed of 174.08 mph.

There were 25 entries in the Control Line (CL) Combat Speed Limit event, and it was flown as a double elimination event in the first round, rather than a full double event. Those with a loss in the first round flew another match, and if they won, they moved on.

On Monday morning, the first day of most people’s work week, we all began our second day of competition flying in the 2024 RC Helicopter Nats.

Good morning, Control Line (CL) Racing fans!
Day two of official CL Racing again greeted the racers with perfect weather.
