Control Line Precision Aerobatics

Precision Aerobatics Model Pilots Association
07/06/2025 to 07/11/2025

For detailed information see the IAC Calendar.

Beautiful, large aircraft perform a prescribed stunt pattern before a panel of judges.  Flights are scored by smoothness and accuracy of maneuvers, with a bonus for aircraft appearance.  There are no design restrictions, but most models typically use .35-.60-size engines, with wingspans reaching more than 5 feet.  Precision Aerobatics is divided into skill classes for beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert fliers. Two related events are Old-Time Stunt, using pre-1953 Stunt pattern and aircraft designs, and Classic Stunt, using aerobatics and aircraft designs that are more than 25 years old.

June 25, 2021: Control Line Aerobatics Ends

By Matt Neumann

Well, Wednesday I left off with the statement that Thursday could be a very interesting day. It was!

Contestants were again greeted with cool temperatures and some wind. The temperatures were a little warmer than what we have been greeted with from the past two days, but light jackets were the norm to start out with. The temperatures increased throughout the day, along with the wind and the competition.
