Stooge for Control Line flying 

I use mine about 1/2 the time I fly because there is nobody there to help me launch, I can also use it to run up the engine before flying.

Yes but my stooge is much better looking than Curly, Moe or Larry

Don't forget Shemp!!

... or Trump

you can fly any model as long as it has a Fox 35 stunt on the nose. Pick any speed model you like that will allow the fox 35 to be mounted, must have at least one wheel. I have a cosmic wind model I use to lower the average speed. The model flies on power, you can modify the venturi, needle valve, hemi-head, back plate just has to be a fox 35 crankcase.

Yes CL scale and carrier have been flying with 2.4 ghz rc controls for throttle and other features. Elevator is still with the handle.

I was flying 60 foot lines but regardless of how long the flying lines are the stooge will work. Ii use a setofkite line with its handle to pull for release.

No, the position of the line guide and the CG location controls how much line tension you have. I have several models without a rudder and they all fly quite well
