yes control is not as popular as it used to be. as a avid rc flyer i have dabbled with c.l. for years. i have a top flite nobler and a ringmaster and a few kits i have not built yet.i learned to fly inverted on a goldberg shoestring stunter. but from what i understand in different parts of the country it is still very popular. i live in east central florida which has a fast growing population.a lot of transplanted northeners. i've seen a slight rise in c.l. activtity in this area. ....let's keep up the hope!
