I think Control line was predicted to die some time in the early 80's. It's still here and it is in better health than it was 20 years ago.

If you never took time to learn how to get good at it, you don't understand control line. If you don't like it fine. I Fly a little RC, and a lot more UC. I think the death of control line will be the oldsters getting older but also the loss of places to fly. There are more new better kits than in the 80 and 90's. A good selection of engines now and ARF's. There is also more information out there to read and learn than there ever has been. It's just not mainstream.

I stopped getting dizzy a long time ago, and RC is more about standing around and drinking coffee than flying sometimes.
I really hate all the BS associated with RC clubs
