ABSTRACT:
A single line control unit to control the flight movement of a model aircraft attached onto the end of a single control line tethered to a fishing rod assembly comprises a hollow tube slidably mounted about the control line between the handle and the first eyelet of the fishing rod assembly. The control line is preferably secured to a casting reel positioned between the handle of the fishing rod and the control unit. The control unit enables the user to provide the desired amount of leverage and tension on the control line and thus control the model aircraft movement to and from the rod and allow the aircraft to be manipulated into executing a variety of stunts. The control unit is provided with an internal bearing surface on each end to prevent the control line from wearing the interior surface of the control unit. Further, the single line control assembly may include a weighted member attached to the control line at a position approximate the model aircraft to cause the model aircraft to roll upon proper manipulation of the control unit.
