David Davis Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 A clubmate wants to build a small control liner, 2.5cc-3.5cc, but no longer has any cables. Can you still buy them in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Cardin Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Your clubmate may also rely on any model shop which offers Sullivan products, as they still produce control line accessories (handle, cables,....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Long 1 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Dens Model Supplies does a lot of CL stuff - **LINK** as well as Cox engines and spares. I have no connection with them apart from being a customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon barr Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I used to fly a lot of control line in my teens in the '70s..... Would probably fall over now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl-Georg Krafft Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I think braided fishing lines like Spectra or Spiderwire are a very cheap alternative for models of this size. Check the controlline websites for the correct diameters. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
