At the club I haunt glow is still king. I love the sound of a glow engine in flight! We see some electrics but right now the big thing is a return to glow powered circle burners. They fly usually after 3:00 PM on Saturdays and the kids get a kick at watching the C/L planes go thru their paces. C/L seems to frustrate the 3D R/C guys they want to short cutting learning to fly C/L. A friend of mine, he's 75, has tried to knock some sense into them but they can't take his advise. When the local expert tries to spout off he points out the number of trophies he has won in C/L combat. The trick with C/L you have to get to the point you can fly straight and level for a full tank of fuel upright and then inverted at shoulder level. Once you can do that you can just about do anything you want. That was how I learned to fly C/L when I was a kid.
