This August, the FAI F2 World Championships for Control Line Model Aircraft took place in Włocławek, Poland, with A, B, C and D categories in both Junior and Senior, with Female contests in B, C and D. Between 23-56 pilots competed in each category.

Control Line is the second oldest competition class, having been included by the FAI at World Championship level in 1960. The aircraft can fly level or climb and dive, performing manoeuvres about the horizontal axis through the wing, with the pilot at the centre of rotation.
