Default RE: Why is CL losing popularity?

Personally, I fly Rockets, CL, FF, and RC. My late mother had a theory that people who are easily bored with something or are always bored are usually also pretty boring people themselves. She also had a saying that usually referred to peoples' musical tastes that to me can also be applied to this Hobby/Sport, or almost anything else in life that offers so many choices. People who single out one aspect of any such activity to the exclusion of any other part are like the people who go to a super buffet and only eat one selection of potato chips. And, to me, the people who put down other peoples' sampling the variety available are like the people who only eat one single chip and then try to stop everybody else from enjoying anything but that same chip.

Maybe at our Model Mania, an annual public show we put on at our RC field, me or Propjobbill can put on a CL flight. This did get positive comments in past years. In fact, one year we actually had three CL planes going at one time. One of our former presidents really did a great job with an older Nobler/OS 40. Used to lie down on the ground for a portion of the flight. I just have to determine if I've recovered enough from a recent illness to fly out a tank while walking around in circles. I haven't flown CL in over a year.
