==Landing gear== The landing gear/undercarriage on control line aircraft can vary from basic piano wire and wheels to competition models with spring-loaded shock absorption and [[wheel pants]]. Retractable landing gear is common on scale models and is occasionally used in stunt. Most speed and combat models omit the landing gear in the interest of drag and weight reduction, and are launched from hand or a "dolly". Navy carrier models have a reinforced hook to help them catch an arresting cable on a simulated carrier deck.
