RE: Why don't we put technology to work ?
I've heard this comment before usually from RC guys asking if I ever thought about adding RC to my handles. I guess I can see doing extra functions with an rc unit on scale but most of what I do can be done with the 2 or 3 line handle. And being able to fly a 200 foot radius circle runs out of room around here pretty quick although I'd like to try monoline sometime just to see what it's like, but that' doesn't seem likely to happen any time soon.
As far as mixing the disciplines. There are RC assist Free flight planes, and RC assisted Control line but frankly I think they are misnamed. RC Assisted Free flight IS RC. Assisted CL is RC as well albeit tethered, so mixing between the two just doesn't have any appeal to me personally.
But as long as you don't break any of the Flying within the zone of an RC field rules, knock yourself out. It's not what about what I want to do and have a good time with, it's about what you want to do so keep us posted.
