CONTROL LINE CENTRAL
« on: March 11, 2013, 02:28:52 PM »
I received an email today from Jim Snelson about a purchase I made some time ago.  He told me that things are falling into place now and that he expects to open the shop again in the near future.  Great news!

Glad to hear that. I was afraid he was gone for good.

Hope it all works out.  I never had any problems with CLC.

My main interaction with Jim (CLC) was to get one of his wing jigs with the optional "v" blocks for the LE.  No problems at all, in fact it was pretty quick.  I have heard here of people waiting a long time for replies lately so I hope all things are working out for them.

That's really great news.
I've been looking forward to ordering their jigs, wing and fuselage.
I hope it doesn't take long...

Good to hear this.  Bill that is where I got my jig also.. It takes a while to set up but builds a straight wing...

Jim and his wife and daughter used to come to VSC and set up their shop.  Great stuff and very nice people.
I missed them last year because that's usually where I stock up on all the good CLC stuff...especially the Tom Morris control stuff.

Hope they are able to resume their business soon, and I wish them all the best.
