I guess I'm very lucky to belong to a R/C club that has a paved runway, very larger grass area that is cut once a week and a C/L flying circle that no ones ever uses. I believe I'm the only one who still flies C/L but our field is 25 miles away and right across the street from my house is a school yard that I can either fly off the paved parking lot or in the grass. I could take my C/L planes up to our field but I be the only one flying. Here at the school yard, people, especially kids like to watch me fly and I get a kick out of that. Maybe some day someone will get the bug from me and start flying C/L with me. I fly both C/L and R/C and they are two completely different types of flying. I don't believe one is any harder or easier to fly then the other, it just takes alot of time, practice and sometimes glue to get good at either one. Larry
