That rooster is at it again. It woke up the sun bright and early, so that the sun can illuminate the words on the last page of the 2024 AMA Control Line (CL) Precision Aerobatics Nats’ history book.

Again, that annoying rooster crowed, waking up the sun. Why does it always have to crow so early? So, now that the sun is starting to wake again, it is starting to illuminate the words on the history page for the August 8 Control Line (CL) Precision Aerobatics events.

As the rooster crows, the sun sort of starts to shine, illuminating the words for the page of August 7.

Wednesday, August 7, was Scale Carrier day. There were four classes of Control Line (CL) Navy Carrier flown.

Wednesday, day three of competition, began cold and windy with light rain. There was definitely a good deal of flying to do before the end of the day, and we got a little bit of a late start. The rain cleared about an hour after the planned start time. As the skies began to clear, the wind really kicked up!

Day one of official racing was greeted by perfect weather and a perfect flying circle facility. It was a day of victories as well. For many, just completing the long and arduous travel was a victory.

A great week of competition was had by everyone. This was a very well-run Nats event, and the team that accomplished it should be very proud.

Good morning, race fans! With a few days of prior rainfall, it looks like the freshly paved and marked Control Line (CL) Racing circles are squeaky clean and just asking to be broken in.

I have heard that Control Line (CL) Precision Aerobatics is like a dance between the partners of pilot and airplane. When they are in sync, it can be a thing of beauty to see as an airplane is put through the pattern. I have to believe that that is quite true.
