FAI F2C Team Racer
A F2C team race plane which belonged to myself. The prime objective of the FAI team racing class is to fly a model, conforming to a certain specification, a distance of ten kilometres in the shortest possible time when using severely restricted fuel capacity (7 cc). Three teams fly with each other at the same time as to make the racing more exciting. These types of planes can reach speeds in excess of 200 Km/h using a 2.5cc engine.

Vintage Aerobatic Aircraft
These aircraft are models designed before December 1951 and are flown to a specific pattern which was used in that era, they are judged on flight score and on static score. The static judging looks for things on the model which might have been used in that era, like old wheels, vintage motor, sewn or cloth hinges etc....

Control Line Combat Aircraft
These aircraft are highly maneuverable and fast. Two pilots fly at the same time and each plane has a streamer attached to it, with the objective being to cut your opponents streamer with your aircraft, propeller or lines, this is an exciting event for spectators and pilots alike, with lots of action.

Control Line Aerobatic Aircraft
These aircraft, the way they fly, have been described as "ballet in the sky". They are similar to vintage aerobatic aircraft except that they are more maneuverable and fly smoother through a more advanced pattern, which includes, to mention a few, square loops, triangles and square figure eights. The construction is also more advanced using composite materials such as carbon fiber.
FAI F2A Speed Plane
These plane are the fastest out of all control line aircraft with the world record speed of just over 311 km/h on a 2.5cc engine running on 20% castor oil and 80% methanol. These little engines can produce a staggering 2.5 B.H.P. at 35000 to 42000 rpm.
