Cap 232, control line.
27 inch wing span 'cause Dick Sarpolis has some that size in Flying
Models. Babe-Bee reed valve 049 with all the performance mods I can
load on it, including diesel, 'cause a model that size is _way_
underpowered with a reed valve 049 (Sarpolis used Tee-Dees; I've never
owned one so I was blithely unaware that the difference was so great).
I just had the first truly successful flights on this airplane, and it's
only been six or seven years since I built it! Most of that time has
been spent scheming on a good low-buck way to get more power on it
(putting on an 061 or 074 would just be cheating).
It's still definitely a gentle flyer -- don't do stunts, and don't fly
in the wind, but do have fun with it!
So I've flown real control line for the first time in a couple of
decades, and my 15 year old son just had a good non-video-game blast
flying it, too.
Now if my 9 year old ever forgives us for not letting him fly, we'll be
fine...

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.
