Default RE: Why is CL losing popularity?

I mainly fly Control Line because I fly CL Combat. There is NOTHING like this in RC. RC Combat is very different (though it might be exciting as well). My usual analogy is that RC Combat is like a bar fight - five or six people taking swings at each other as the opportunity arises. CL Combat is like a knife fight, or a duel with rapiers - intensely man-on-man, at extremely close quarters, and very, very fast. Blink once and your streamer is gone.

Flying one-in-a-circle - even with a Fast Combat plane - is dull.. And the usual type of flying I see at RC club fields - people making passes left and right and doing the odd loop and roll - interests me not at all. Something like competitive soaring, or F5B, or even park fliers, might - just haven't done it yet.
