My first model airplane was a Testor's .049 control line model of a
Japanese Zero. That plane had more flight time on it as a glider than
it did under power. I used to just swing it around and around by the
lines because I could never get the engine to run.

I am curious. Does control line truly have a big enough following to
justify all the press it does get?
I'm doubtful.
Here's some numbers:
2005 NATS attendance:
RC Total = 433
Soaring = 151
Control Line = 223
Free Flight = 348
Makes you wonder why the Free Flight guys are not screaming??
Personally I consider it so basic and elementary that it's boring.
Why do people fiddle about with it? Of course I feel the same about
glow power as well. :-)
Everyone thinks that the other guy's hobby/interest is lame. You
should hear what my power friends say about gliders. What the heli
guys say about plankers, what the TD guys say about slopers, and on,
and on, and on, and on, and on, and on...............................
There was also no heli column or scale aerobatics column this issue. I
have not seen them yelling, yet!!!
