RE: Is combat dead?
As a public note to Mr. Crosscheck. There are still a few guys doing the control line combat thing in Dresden Ont. and Centennial Park in Etobicoke. That is close to you. The 80 mph combat is mostly F2D planes($50) with an LA .25 (the new McCoy.35) and is fairly popular. Check the Balsa Beavers site for dates. (I hope I can say that here) Some local guys do Stryker combat/pylon racing, as well as the electric jets. The props don't do damage but usually they break and that is the end of things for a while. A 400 electric is about the same as an .049.
