RE: Why is CL losing popularity?
PArt of the reason we may see various aspects of the hobby dying are attitudes like we have displayed here. I'm 37 years old, have came back to control line because of eye problems I have yet to get fixed, and forgotten how much I used to love CL!. We already have canned ARF'S, so let's can the attitudes and have fun. I think folks who will try and make time to build and fly, and who will try new things like CL will have fun. It's not for everyone, but then again there are folk's who will let nothing make them happy either. Just my opinion, now excuse me while I go work on my new CL bird, a Sig Chipmunk with a Brodak 3 line bellcrank and vintage Roberts handle!
