I also fly both R/C and C/L. I have fun with both although in the last year I have had more fun with C/L because I have challenged myself to learn the complete stunt pattern. I did not push to improve my R/C flying this year. I wish I was good enough at modeling to fly free-flight! That is a real challenge for those of us who build and trim our own models. I've been doing C/L for over 40 years and R/C for 30. I'm more interested in the competition side of C/L and there are many more contests to attend within a reasonable driving distance(Scale and stunt). R/C better fulfills the social aspects of the hobby due to there being so many more participants. They are both all about airplanes; the expanded horizon gives more opportunity to have a good time.
