Whip Powered
Control Line Models

\"Whip Powered Control Line\" models are 1/2A size profile control line models that do not use an engine for power. From the control handle, the control lines pass through the eyes of a 6 foot fishing rod through the line guide on the wing, and to the bellcrank. As the flyer turns with the rod, the model is pulled through the air. The speed and duration of the flight are controlled by the pilot. Line length is 15\' to 30\'. This is a good way to get started in control line and to learn stunts. Whip Powered Control Line was started in 1943 by Jim Walker. Because of the war, engines and fuel were very hard to get. The whip powered system solved these problems to some extent. Today this method of flying allows flight anywhere as there is no noise and little risk of injury. These planes can even be flown indoors which makes flying a year \'round hobby!

The availability of this great whip powered models is, to a great extent, due to the efforts of Frank Macy. Frank grew up in Portland, Oregon where he met the legendary Jim Walker as he was demonstrating his airplanes at parks and schools around the area. Jim became his boyhood hero and Frank was certain he wanted to work for him. This was not to be, as Jim Walker died in early 1958. A few years later Frank decided to preserve the history of the American Junior Aircraft Company and the legacy of Jim Walker. In the 1980\'s Frank released Whip Powered Control Line kits designed by \"Jim\" Walker and sold by American Junior. They were so successful that he designed and kited other models. This effort continues today with American Junior Classics. Today Frank Macy is a design consultant for Black Hawk Models while running American Junior Classics and producing a line of American Junior products


Black Hawk Pursuit

Whip Powered Control Line Model
Designed By Captain Blackhawk

After several years of producing Whip Powered Control Line modelsI decided thatwe needed a new and better flying model. Keeping with the idea of a simple to build model, I designed the Black Hawk Pursuit plane. This model uses almost fool proof methods, has extra instructions and full size plans. Our test flights have proved it to be a stable, dependable flier. I am sure that you will enjoy building and flying this model. -- Captain Blackhawk

  • KIT NUMBER: JA2200

  • SKILL LEVEL: Easy
  • Kit includes:
    • Pre-cut balsa parts
    • Shaped wings
    • Complete hardware package
    • Decals
    • child safe glue
    • Control line and handle

This kit would be a great way for a youngster or one youngin heart to learn to build and fly control line model airplanes. The airplanecan be painted with any available paint as “fuel proof” paint is not required. There is no motor, fuel and propellerto deal with. Thus mom does not have to worry about little Mary getting herfingers cut on a propeller. There is no motor noise to disturb the neighbors.While learning to fly control line, one problem is that you get dizzy until youget used to flying. With whip power, the flight duration is under the controlof the pilot. When you get too dizzy, simple stop whipping and land theairplane.

I prefer PayPal. International buyers, PayPal only pleaseand please do not ask for false information on the customs forms. This kit will ship directly from the factory. Please allow up to one week for shipping. Thank youand happy flying.
