The spotlight is on Control Line Speed in the museum’s newest exhibit. Fourteen CL speed models, dating from 1945 to the 1980s are shown along with relevant documentation and information on the CL Speed classes.
Exhibited models include Bill Wisniewksi’s Pink Lady, Johnny Clemen’s world record setter, Wally Wallick’s Wally’s Demon, and Jim Wade’s Eagle I and Eagle III.
This blog post explains a little about how these models can go so fast!
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.
Thanks to museum intern Kayla Al Ameri for putting this exhibit together!
