The new CL Speed Exhibit fills four bays in a large white case. A blue and white sky background is printed behind the models.We do not have every Control Line Speed class represented in the museum’s collection.  Do you, someone you know fly speed models?  Please contact Maria at mariav@modelaircraft.org to discuss the possibility of donating models to the collection.
