Cline & Associates was founded by James Cline, a retired master engineer from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. He has an extensive background in all types of engines.

Combining his vocation with his avocation, model airplanes, he came up with his brainchild of a fuel controller which would permit the fuel supply to remain stable at any attitude.

The Cline Fuel System (CFS) was developed, the company organized, and first offered for sale in 1993 and were widely used in the Tournament of Champions which were held in Las Vegas that year.

Today over 40,000 systems are in use in the United States as well as many other countries. They have been sold to RC Flyers in England, Australia, Japan, China, Mexico, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Costa Rica, Scotland, New Zealand and numerous other places.

In addition to being used in model airplane engines, some novel uses have cropped up for the Cline Fuel System. They are being used in helicopters, boats and, in at least one instance, in ink delivery systems. They have been tested by at universities for various other purposes.

Service is the company’s motto and they are never too busy to take the time to answer questions or to help with a problem either by phone or E-mail. If all else fails, they invite you to send your engine to them where they will look at it, fix it and equip it with a fuel system (if you so desire).
