Dick and Matthew Hart have been involved in competitive control line speed for many years and are delighted to be given the chance to share this fascinating aspect of aeromodelling with everyone. If you have been thinking about having a go at flying control line speed this is where you can find out about the various classes of open speed that are flown in the UK and how to get started.

We will introduce the classes of model and talk about how you can build a competitive introductory speed model on a budget. We will explain where and how to get encouragement and advice along the way and what it takes to become a winner.

Although we have been focused on pulse jet speed for quite a while now, we have flown other classes and will share our experiences with you.

There will be plenty of time allocated for questions so that we can try to answer as many as we can. There will be no secrets, other regular speed fliers will be on hand and we will tell you what we know.
