  Control-line Model Airplanes
Use the innermost hole on the bellcrank, a tall control horn, and a large bellcrank, so everything is set up to require the most movement of the handle to get from full up to full down.
PIO is exacerbated by sensitive controls; reduce the sensitivity to reduce the severity of oscillation onset.
Most of us as young control liners figured that "more was better"; thus we put the pushrod in the hole furthest from the bellcrank and positioned it on the elevator such that we virtually created an airbrake from the extreme deflection of the control surface.

  Control line: Just the facts...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Control line (called U-Control in some countries) is a simple way of controlling a flying model aircraft (additional info and facts about model aircraft).
It is constrained to fly on the surface of a hemisphere by the control wires.
The model is timed over a number of laps, and the pilot must hold the handle controlling his model in a yoke on top of a pole in the middle of the circle.

 Encyclopedia: Line of control   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The Line of Control (LOC) is a line which demarcates the boundary between the territories controlled by two militaries or political entities.
Originally known as the "Ceasefire Line", it was redesignated the "Line of Control" after the Simla Agreement, which was formalized in December 1972.
Line of Actual Control is the current border dividing Indian and Chinese occupied territory on the western part of India after the 1962 Sino-Indian War.

 Getting started in Control Line
Control line sport flying is also a lot cheaper than RC sport flying, and takes a lot less room.
The standard control material used for control lines is three to seven strand stainless or carbon steel (most CL wire found in the States is seven strand stainless, while in Europe, "Laystrate" wire is common).
Line ends can be made using the methods specified in the AMA rule book, or on the back of the blister packaging for SIG's control line wire.

 Control Line
The control line is attached to the kite bridle by a knot at the bridle point.
The line has a certain length s and the weight of the control line is evenly distributed along the length at p ounces per foot of line.
Because the shape of the line is not a straight line we can not use trigonometry to determine the height at which the kite flies for a given length of line.

 New York City Subway Signals: Single Line Diagrams
The box with the line and dot in it near the switch represents the tower; the dot represents the tower operator, and the line the interlocking machine or panel.
Knowing which way the operator faces is crucial, because some signals controlled by some types of interlocking machines are designated L or R according to whether the tower operator moves the controlling lever to his or her left or right to clear them.
Control lines are sometimes marked with track numbers, station numbers, or lever numbers, depending upon the pedigree and intent of the diagram; any is sufficient to disambiguate the control lines.

 Quality Control Charts
In both line charts, the horizontal axis represents the different samples; the vertical axis for the X-bar chart represents the means for the characteristic of interest; the vertical axis for the R chart represents the ranges.
For attribute control charts (C, U, Np, or P charts), the estimate of the variability of the process (proportion, rate, etc.) is a function of the process average (average proportion, rate, etc.; for example, the standard deviation of a proportion p is equal to the square root of p*(1- p)/n).
The control limits can then be expressed in straight lines, while the location of the sample points in the plot depend not only on the characteristic to be controlled, but also on the respective sample n's.

 basejump.org: 5th Upper Control Line
The 5th line is attached one seam closer to the center cell - in other words on the mid seam (non-load bearing rib) of cells 3 and 5.
On the Flik canopies the 5th line is finger trapped into the 4th upper control line a few inches above the cascade junction.
They still found it was better (in terms of canopy performance) to have a longer lower control line and 5 upper control lines, rather than a shorter lower control line and only 4 upper control lines (the standard set up).

 Brodak Manufacturing - Control Line Flying
At the airplane end, oversensitive control response is likely to be a result of some combination of the settings of the bellcrank or the pushrod setting in the bellcrank, flap horn and/or elevator horn.
Assuming you can’t change the bellcrank situation, you can reduce control response by moving the pushrod to holes in the elevator and flap horns that are farther away from the control surfaces, reducing the amount of elevator and flap travel.
If those have been corrected and line tension seems to be a continuing problem, you need to examine what is referred to as “line rake.” Simply put, this is the point at which the leadouts exit the inboard wingtip.

 Control Line Equations
When the kite is in cruising flight you will notice that the control line produces a gentle curve from the hand of the flyer to the kite as the line sags under its own weight.
The kite is subjected to four main forces; the lift L, the drag D, the weight W, and the tension T in the control line.
The control line has a certain length s and the weight of the control line is evenly distributed along the length at p weight per length of line.

 BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | Contentious Line of Control
The Line of Control runs over 700km of forested hills and inhospitable terrain.
Analysts say that some elements in both India and Pakistan may privately be willing, eventually, to accept the Line of Control as the internationally accepted boundary between them.
As yet, however, neither country has made an official move to do so and the unresolved matter of Kashmir and the Line of Control may continue to remain the obstacle to improved bilateral relations for some time to come.

 basejump.org: 5th control line
It seems with the 5th control line the toggle range is much smaller making the canopy more "twitchy" and prone to stall.
Removing the 5th control line doesn't reduce the ability of the canopy to turn and has no affect on glide it just allows the pilot to make full use of their arm movement.
It has also been my experience that with 4 control lines there is less need for a small mesh slider for terminal delays and it may also slow down some of the very fast sub-terminal slider up openings I have seen.

 To control line length in Internet messages in Microsoft Outlook
Line length is an issue in plain text format messages and in rich-text format (RTF) messages sent to recipients whose entries in your address book are not set up for RTF.
On the other hand, if you send mail using a fixed line length, when recipients reply and using Internet-style quoting, the resulting message may have lines that wrap with just one or two words on a line.
To be able to set a fixed line length, you must upgrade to version 8.02 or later or download the Internet Mail Enhancement Patch.

 FDEP - Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems - Coastal Construction Control Line
Adoption of a coastal construction control line establishes an area of jurisdiction in which special siting and design criteria are applied for construction and related activities.
These standards may be more stringent than those already applied in the rest of the coastal building zone because of the greater forces expected to occur in the more seaward zone of the beach during a storm event.
Field representatives for the coastal construction control line program conduct compliance and enforcement inspections, issue field permits, and consult with permit applicants.
