My family moved to Fargo in the summer of 1976, the summer before 5th grade, and we saw a lot of things painted red, white and blue. What I did not see was Trefoil Park and the concreate flight rings in the park. I spent a lot of time walking and riding in north Fargo and I did not know about this park or facility until a few years ago when someone placed a geocache here. I have visited a few times and often usually see one or two walkers from the neighborhood.

I had not heard of Control Line model plane flying until finding the park. According to the Academy of Model Aeronautics "Control Line aeromodeling allows a modeler to have direct physical control of their model airplane. ... the pilot, standing in the middle of the circle, flies the model on one or more control lines. The control lines run from the pilot’s control handle to the airplane and traditionally operate the models elevator, allowing the pilot to make the airplane go up and down (controlling the pitch of the airplane). The pilot also must continually turn with the airplane.
