Default RE: Why is CL losing popularity?

As a matter of perspective, last Friday my son and I watched some R/C jets fly. The planes were very impressive, tubine powered, and highly expensive. Some of the pilots were quite good as well. I really enjoyed watching. On Sunday we watched some guys flying some really large highly aerobatic planes -- impressive and fun. I really enjoyed watching,and really appreciated the skill involved. It was fun. On Saturday my dad and I spent about two hours watching several guys flying stunt patterns at a controlline contest in Texarkana. Very impressive. I loved it. I would have stayed longer but dad had been sick and it was a damp and windy day. Truth is I've spent a lot more time dreaming about c/l than r/c this week. What I don't understand is the attitude of some people that seem to think that there is some need to prove one discipline superior to the other. Two great aspects of model aviation. Enjoy them both.
