I have a question for Control Line pilots though, is there a limit though to the flying manuevers one can do.
Well, you can't do a four point roll (on purpose
).
Wouldn't you get bored being able to have such a small envelope of flying maneuvers.
Not really. You make up for it with the smaller maneuvers and the instant feedback through the lines.
Seems like its more a precision/combat sport and thats it.
Not exactly. Although most competition oriented people lean toward stunt or combat there are other types of models such as scale, carrier, racing, fun (low key competition) events, and of course, sport.
I did control line when I was younger but R/C flying seems more involving and more to do.
You probably had a minimal involvement with CL because you were more interested in RC...and that's OK. All forms of modeling can be fun and interesting. On my workbench at this time are two 1/2A CL "Scientific" biplanes and a 1/2A Q-Tee (3-channel). I like all forms of modeling but currently only participate in CLPA (stunt) and a little RC. I would like to develop good FF skills eventually.
Of course this is only one person's opinion
