We study bifurcations of control-affine systems in the plane. We classify all generic 1-parameter bifurcations of control systems, more precisely, topological bifurcations of invariants of usual feedback equivalence. Such bifurcations form six different classes: two bifurcations of equilibrium sets, two bifurcations of critical sets and two bifurcations of pairs of invariants. We also classify all generic 1-parameter families of control-affine systems.
