BUILD YOUR OWN CLASSIC CONTROLINER IN PAPER

The history of Control Line was made by men and their planes.

Some of these magnificent men still keep in the flame of the aeromodelling in the world, some others will be alive forever in our souls.

But now their planes are the invaluable inheritance which enriches the consciousness of the C/L Confraternity.

So, we want give you a little free gift. A pair of scissors, a bit of glue, an evening of work and you will have for your desktop a little paper model of the planes which made the epos of Control Line.

Download the files and instructions, print them on thick glossy paper (about 160gr/mq) and...have fun!

La storia del Volo Vincolato è fatta di uomini e di modelli.

Alcuni di questi piccoli grandi uomini tengono ancora alta nel mondo la fiamma dell'aeromodellismo, altri vivranno per sempre nei nostri cuori.

Ma ormai i loro modelli costituiscono l'irrinunciabile patrimonio che arricchisce l'immaginario collettivo della Confraternita del Volo Vincolato.

Così, abbiamo deciso di farvi un piccolo regalo. Un paio di forbici, un po' di colla, una serata di lavoro, ed avrete una piccola riproduzione in carta dei modelli che resero epica la storia del Volo Vincolato, e che farà bella figura posato sul vostro monitor.

Scarica i file, stampali su cartoncino lucido da 160 g/mq, e... buon divertimento!

* Many thanks to the artistic talent of Dazed for the great Paper Speed King animation on the top of page
