SAM35 celebrates free flight, control line and radio control vintage, classic and old-time model aircraft – or models built in those traditions. Free flight models include gliders and rubber power-powered and engine-powered models. Control line emphasis is on fun racing, speed classes, vintage stunt and scale. Enjoy building and flying traditional models with us.
