I know, it's been 5 years since you made this video Shug, but, better late than ever. Your enthusiasm for control line is awesome. Taking the time to create these fun videos is impressive and appreciated by the likes of myself. I have seen you in person flying and you are just as funny and happy as you are on your videos so the "showmanship" is not fake. I grew up watching a neighbor fly control line and my brothers and I would sit and watch. There was no where else I wanted to be. The smell of the castor fuel will always be in my memories. Thanks again and I hope that you are still flying. In watching some of your other videos, it's obvious that you have a varied amount of interests and hobbies!

This type of aircraft model flying is the type I flew back in the late 1950s. Yep, right after the dinosaurs left. Brahaha! Very glad to see it has had a following still today. It can be some of the most thrilling, frustrating, or devastating flying to ever be had. I never got to the combat type of flying. That had a streamer attached to the tail and the two would fly trying to nip the streamer off the others tail. Great stuff, thanks for sharing. SUPER GREAT FLYING LITTLE LADY AND GENTLEMAN! Wished much, much success in C/L flying! Oh, almost forgot, I subbed and a high five!

Appreciation from Scotland. Enjoyed the comradeship of a Control Line gathering, good humor and helpfulness,

Whoooooo buddy I am dizzy!!!!!!! Got to lay down for a bit! You keep an bringing back great memories ! Thanks Shug.

Wish I knew you were here. Love watching your videos and I'm right here in Des Moines. Bummer. Keep up the videos!

Makes me wanna move to Iowa. Stooges are ok, but nothing like enjoying flights with others. Awsome group you guys got.

Are you kidding me, Shug?!?! My wife, my 5 month old son, and I were across the road flopped in our hammocks while you all were over there making a racket. Sure wish I knew you were there... I woulda stopped and said howdy.

thanks shug for sharing the great CL footage, well ill have to finish this vid later its time for my morning constutional, thumbs up man

Thats how i started 61 years ago. Brings back alot of memories. used to fly the ringmaster,circuis king and nobler. AMA 1121

Brings back great memories from my younger days .how I miss it 😕

Best field I have ever seen in my LIFE

MOST EXCELLENT Shugrow ... congrats on the wins! Really a nice little field they have there!

Well done, thoroughly enjoyed, might have even learned a thing or two watching. Congrats on bringing home some hardware, nice.

DANG SHUG!!!! that kid beat ya to a dual engine!

GREAT DAYS OUT AND A WHOLE LOT OF FUN WITH SOME GREAT FRIENDS AT YOUR CLUB.

Love the sights, sounds and smell of gas powered UC flying… at one time I could do the pattern… into rubber free flight now… enjoy

Thanks Sean, and congratulations!!!!!!

Been watching some of your videos...My son and i just built a Sterling s-1 and put a fox .35 on it ''found on ebay''...same plane my dad built with me 40 some years ago....finished it in the exact same colors as my dad's...excited to fly it....not sure the neighbors will like it....we usually fly electric rc foamies out in the schoolyard...

Wow that little missy can fly!

Маленькая девочка - хорошо летала ,молодец.

Looks like a lot of fun

its when then the engine sounds sweet. confidence

Have you ever done a video explaining the basics of control line flying? How are these things scored? The difference in the various flight classes, etc. As an unfamiliar muggle each flight looked the same to me. :o

I'm waaaayyy behind in my video watching, but I had to stop and watch this one. Congrats on bringing home the hardware (hardwood? maybe) Shug. Looks like the MN team did well across the board. Thanks for the look see!

Once again you was not more than 20 miles from me and I did not know till it was over, I'd a bought you lunch Shug

HEY! A Manx cat with a McCoy Redhead on it. Cooooooooll.. Can't imagine what he flew it in though.

Wow Shug, you've broken into the 500s, way to go, man! Better start pretending that grass is made of asphalt. Lol Cheers to ya, Rusty

Good afternoon from St John Parish, Louisiana 30 Sep 20

nice work, and congrats on the wins

Great flying, Shug! Love that you kept flying right until the end of the fuel on that first flight! Did you forget the overhead 8?? haha

I tried to fly U control airplane's, then somebody introduced me 2 Estes model rockets. . .and the 200+ sport competitions flown with 13 mm and 18 mm rockets so you go to a meet with 50 to 100 other rocketeers ...and you can complete with duration competitions parachute duration streamer Direction egg lofting duration competition... then there's drag racing with two or three different Rockets. Altitude competitions rocket glider events sport Landing is some of the competitions that are fun... multiple rocket engine competition altitude payload competition everybody has to fly a certain amount of weight to certain altitude...you have grown men and there family's that will drive a cross the Country just to fly in as many sport rocketry competition events that they can get to...so you spend all winter in your spare time building Sport Rockets for competition events...then some people with pull a small trailer across the USA so they can complete in rocketry events. . .so you put a 18mm Rocket up to over 2000 feet...and then recover it in one piece and that is a competition...then there are multi-round events where you have two rockets that are built as identical to each other as possible . . .then you launch the rocket lets say a parachute duration with a large parachute but very light usually made out of a silver foil type material so it can be seen from the ground, you launch your rocket with the highest impulse motor that you can possibly fit into an 18 millimeter rocket to 1500 ft altitude the parachute is ejected from the rocket...and two judges using high-powered binoculars well watch your bird until it can't be seen anymore...then the time stops...because this is a multi-round event you can fly up to three times but only two of the three flight times are counted. . .and at least one of the two birds have to be recovered...in good reflyable conditions...most Birds are found sometime during the three or four days competition event...so nothing is Left Behind for littering....

enjoy fliyin' controll line even today prefer scratch- building and using balsa, weather looked like it might thunder storm at any time hope it didn't well, back to cuttin' balsa

holy smokes,i thought these things only went up and down thos really exciting,ty for the video.

Great flying & a top flying field with nice short green grass (& full marks to your grounds keeper) - soft green grass is something we seem to lack on our dry old field in Australia. Also noticed the wind was non existent / quite calm on the day of the video shoot. Do you have problems with upper turbulence or buffeting from having trees fairly close to the field?

Do y’all do carrier landings and dog fighting combat in your contests?

Reyco handles can adjust the elevator? Is there one type of cable Reyco .This one I bought I do not know which is better? In the video I saw that you type hartpoint! Nice den.Jan.

I want to see a MMA version of this sport where they ram the planes into each other

Subbed

Sounds like someone was flying a 4 stroke.

Anyone using zenoah motors? Just curious! Never even heard of this kind of flying.

How long do you have on the rope prowler? I do not know how long for Twister with evo 36?

ain't that a pretty Texan

Hi Shug , any chance i can have your email .. cheers Marcel NZ

I Think this is aspecial Engine, it got much fuel by calm flying an by gyoeffets in the nginge it throtleup by geting thiner fluid air mix an gows dawn again atfter the harde maneuer ! (main)!

I wanted to watch but i only fly RC. Also i hear spinning around like that can cause low sperm count.
