dhal I am not sure why you would consider yourself fortunate for having never seen controlline flights. The tens of thousands of controlline flyers are obviously silly numbers and I cannot imagine where you come up with that. If I did not know better it seems you are being sarcastic.

In the sixties controlline flyers far outnumbered RC flyers but from that point on the numbers were reversed with a rapidly widening gap to the a low around 94 or so when the first controlline ARf's started showing up. This stopped the slide and a very slow rise in activity has been occuring ever since.

It of course will never ever agine be more active than RC and that would be a silly expectation but for those who wish to relive the joy or like me who never completely abandoned the joy this is and has been wonderful news.

As I mentioned in my earlier posts a year ago in this thread, You will never experiance the joy without actually trying it and there is no way to adaquately describe the joy. So I am afraid even if you watched it you could still not understand. This has never been about RC versus Controlline thats ridiculous and I would never abandon RC any more than I would Controlline.

Here are two of my flights if you care to spend a few moments:
