"Phil Brown's Website of CL Links" has virtually everything you will ever need to look for online regarding Controline, including Skyraider's Website! Bookmark this one.

"PAMPA" This is the NEW PAMPA (Precision Aerobatics Model Pilots Association) website, built by Steven Yampolsky, Aaron Little and Larry Cunningham. Lots of new features, plan to spend some time cruising this one. Stunt pattern diagrams and judging criteria in well organized format. Also, PDF files available for printing score sheets.

"PAMPA Membership Form Download"

"Spencer Aircraft" Your #1 source for quality Randolph butyrate and nitrate, epoxy fillet putty, and of course, spiffy paraphernalia for all aviation enthusiasts. Co-Sponsors of "Stunt-at-Thun" in June! Phone: 1-800-424-1160 or 1-253-848-9349.

"Flying Lines Online" NW CL Events Schedules, Editorials, Rules Change proposals, shop tips, how-to's, and much more.

John Thompson's "NW Controline Forums" Q&A Forums, Classifieds. NW CL area forums covering all the CL events on a local basis.

"AeroManiacs" Excellent website for beginners, also has videos of various stunt experts demonstrating "the pattern". Very fancy! Plan to spend some time exploring this beauty...

"Toronto Balsa Beavers" Toronto, Canada, that is. Stu Henderson, stunt flyer and webmaster.

"Tulsa Glue Dobbers"Another DeLuxe Club website...lots of information here, pictures, articles, etc. Check it out, definitely worth the price of admission!

"Pacific Northwest Diesel Combat" A nice website with much diesel information for those new (or old) to the running of compression ignition model engines. All the info on rules, plans, designs, construction, and flying of the Vintage Diesel Combat, AKA "D-Bat"...FUN STUFF!

"NW Fireballs" This active NW CL Club flies at the Jim Walker Memorial Model Airport in Delta Park, Portland, Oregon. There are no trees anywhere close to where a stunt model could hit one. ;)

"Stuka Stunt Works Forums" Q&A Forum, Classifieds, Product Reports and Humor. Click on "Home" for their modified engines, plans, kits and hardware.

"Stunt Hanger Forums" Q&A Forum, Classifieds, Product Reports, Combat, Racing, Speed, Scale and Navy Carrier Forums. Sponsored by Harley Davidson Motorcycles...

"Victoria Stunt"As in the State of Victoria, Australia. Another DeLuxe Club website...lots of information here, pictures, articles, and links. Pictures (and plans available) of many beautiful classic stunters seldom seen in our neck of the woods.

"Academy of Model Aeronautics"
The parent organization that handles insurance, group coordinated events, and other national displays. Membership to the AMA is required by the NW Skyraiders as we are an AMA Chartered Club.

"Walter Umland"
Walter Umland has semi-retired from making custom kits and custom building models, but he will build or host a website for you. His site also has posted all the 'how to' articles from Tom Morris' website, in PDF format. Walter's website is still worth a good look!

"Tom Morris"
Tom Morris' website seems to be gone, maybe temporary, but maybe permanent. Meanwhile, Walter Umland has posted all the 'how to' articles from Tom Morris' website, in PDF format, with Tom's permission. Some products are still available.

"Larry Richards Kits"
Larry Richards makes custom cut kits of the old Midwest Warbirds, Veco kits, a few Sterling designs, and some original profile carrier and stunt models. The wood is super and we hear nothing but raves about the quality.

"Blue Sky Models"
Tom Niebuhr kits several OTS and Classic designs, and a few modern ones, too. They are laser cut. The wood is hand selected and several local customers say good things about the quality.

"Barry Baxter's CL Plans Service" "Bare" has a nice website that actually shows what some of the more obscure vintage combat, OTS and Classic stunt models look like & what the structure is like.

"Fox Manufacturing"
Engines, kits, accessories and modeling materials are available from Fox Manufacturing. With products from Fox, building your competition or sport planes has just become easy!

"Sig Manufacturing"
Probably the grand daddy of model airplane suppliers, this company has become the staple of most modelers for years now. There's very little in the way of supplies and tools that this company doesn't carry.

"Flying Model Magazine"
This is the premier independant model airplane magazine that still has significant Controline and Free Flight content and coverage. Please support them, in return for their supporting our CL hobby. You can subscribe, purchase books, available old issues, or plans online.

"Blastolene"
I happen to know that a lot of you are auto enthusiasts, hot rodders, racers, restorers, etc. I found this website that details two very amazing automotive efforts that simply defy all common reason. If a 1800 Cubic Inch Roadster with 1,000 Horsepower and 1,500 ft. lbs of torque seems like a good idea, come and take the tour. Amazing...that these guys aren't......Controline Fliers!
