Wonder if we can order Control Line World magazine
on line yet?

Vincent

Hi, Vince - any questions regarding CL World should be directed to Brodak or Tim Ehlen.

If you mean an online publication, I am not aware of anything like that at this time.

It's just like MA or SN only differemt.

Zuriel: If you are a Brodak customer or pampa member you should receive a copy. I know for a fact that many people who ARE on the list have not received their copies - post office delivery may be slow.

If in doubt, request a copy by e-mail to: <flyin@brodak.com>

As I've stated before, it's well worth the wait - everyone I know who has it is very pleased. Most have subscribed.

The next issue will be much larger and more comprehensive.

Thanks Bob. I am a Brodak customer and was assured a copy. I guess the anticipation level is too high?

Don't try and rush the USPS, it is like watching water boil, slow. The wait is worth the magazine. Later, DOC Holliday

A subscription form is included when you receive the magazine.

Bill Little · « **Reply #8 on:** November 16, 2006, 10:01:32 PM »

I got mine today! Getting ready to do a *little* bed time reading!

Keith Spriggs · « **Reply #9 on:** November 16, 2006, 10:41:46 PM »

I received mine a couple of days ago. I called and tried to subscribe and they told me that I needed to mail it in. The didn't say definitely "no way",but since it was no problem I mailed it in.

I hope everything works out good for them. It wouldn't hurt if everybody mentioned the magazine to whoever you buy stuff from either tell them you saw their ad in the magazine or that they should consider and ad if they don't have one.

Another thing that would help to insure a quality and interesting magazine would be if some of you guys or gals would consider submitting an article. There are several people here who are knowledgable enough to write an article.

Got mine 2 days ago in Victoria BC Canada
Thanx

Hi Everyone:

Yes, it seems the Pony Express was slow in getting everyone's copy of the magazine across the country. Some areas were slower than others.

You can now subscribe online at the Brodak website. Click on this link to get to the subscribe page. https://www.brodak.com/subscribe.php

Yes, we are interested in article ideas. If you would like to submit an idea for an article, send it to me at tehlen@juno.com. I will be happy to discuss your idea with you.

We still need someone to write about Racing for the magazine. The pay is great and you get use of the company condo in Florida and use of the corporate jet.

The response to the magazine has been positive and supportive. We are working on the January issue now.

Thanks for your help and support.

Tim Ehlen, Editor
Control Line World Magazine

If you didn't receive your issue of CLW by now, I would e mail Brodak and have one sent....please take the time to give all of the correct information:
Name (spelled correctly), street address including correct ZIP.....

Heres hoping the internet works as I just subscribed to what I think will be a great general control line publication. Even if we have differences with John we need to stick together and promote control line. DOC Holliday

I'm guessing what he meant is the second we - anyone who dabbles in control line - should support the new magazine because the magazine is good for CL in general.

cheers,
Ken

OK here is the final word on Control Line world. I have received mine and it is in it's infancy. It is well laid out and written.The pictures are clear and sharp. I will be subscribing to it. You can too if you like. If you choose not to thats you business. Remember I am one of the 104. However it has not clouded my objectivity. Look at things with an open mind!

I did all of the above, including a response from John. Still nothing.

Keith Spriggs · « **Reply #25 on:** November 27, 2006, 10:18:37 PM »

My 2cents worth:

I received a free copy of the magazine. I think I read every word in it and looked at every ad. I then subscribed. I don't think it is possible to evaluate any magazine by reading only one issue, especially the first issue. The first issue by necessity had a lot about the writers and an introduction to them. The subsequent issues will no doubt be somewhat different. Even if you do not choose to subscribe at this time you should beg, borrow or steal at least a few issues and read them, then you can really decide if it is worth the subscription price to you. Never in the last fifty years has there been a magazine devoted strictly to CL flying, that I am aware of. For that reason alone I think every CL flyer should at least give the magazine a fair evaluation.

Ron Merrill · « **Reply #26 on:** November 28, 2006, 10:14:50 AM »

Got my copy yesterday. Looking good. Ron.

Steve Helmick · « **Reply #27 on:** November 28, 2006, 06:33:51 PM »

I got my copy of CLW a few weeks ago. I was surprised to get it, being one of the 104. Like Robert, I found it to be a good first effort, and would subscribe if I had a place to store magazines, but it's filled, and I can't stand to heave 'em out. I'll see if I can borrow a copy to read every month, and might eventually subscribe. This has to be a good thing for CL, and I hope the magazine is a success. Getting it into the LHS will be

difficult enough, but until it gets into the newstands, book stores and variety stores, I'm afraid it won't save our

bacon. It would be nice to be wrong about that, tho.

Bill Hodges · « **Reply #28 on:** November 29, 2006, 02:10:49 PM »

FWIW. I subscribed online yesterday. When I clicked on "Subscribe", the page went blank. No confirmation of my order/suscription. I called by phone just to check and was told that my subscription went through just fine. For some reason, the confirmation page just failed to open. Computers, you gotta love em!

Bill, glad to here of your results as I had the same thing when I subscribed. DOC Holliday

Gil Reedy · « **Reply #31 on:** December 01, 2006, 11:50:24 AM »

Got my issue 2 weeks ago

--its nearly worn out from being passed around. Everybody loved it! I've been a CL flyer for 50 years, never had a problem with JB, so I guess I'm not a "we" either. Oh, well---maybe someday------

Richard Grogan · « **Reply #32 on:** December 01, 2006, 03:51:06 PM »

Still nothing. I emailed John again today,and got a quick reply that he'd send a second one right out. The mail lady is a little goofy; maybe shes an old controliner and got the first one for herself...

Zuriel Armstrong · « **Reply #33 on:** December 01, 2006, 03:58:04 PM »

Hi Richard. I guess I'm the other gut that did not get a copy. I too was told I would get one.

Chris Brainard · « **Reply #34 on:** December 01, 2006, 04:45:42 PM »

I haven't gotten mine yet either.

Richard Grogan · « **Reply #35 on:** December 07, 2006, 11:23:39 AM »

I got a copy of CL World in the mail today.

Zuriel Armstrong · « **Reply #36 on:** December 07, 2006, 12:12:16 PM »

Being one of the ones who had not received my copy yet, I want to correct the record. After emailing John Brodak it was determined that my copy was sent to my old address. He is promptly sending another copy to my current address

Ron Merrill · « **Reply #37 on:** December 07, 2006, 12:30:33 PM »

Lets all subscribe, and the world will be a little bit better. Ron

I got a copy of CL World in the mail today.

First impression-- The cover (I think) reminded me of a manufacturers catalog, as in the way its layed out. But for a premier issue, it got the point across after a brief moment.

As I read it, I realized that this was just the first issue and improvements will come in time. The articles were pretty well written for the most part. Hopefully, more advertisers will join in. Most publications won't survive off of circulations alone....

For it to become a world class publication, the paper stock will need to be stepped up to a higher grade glossier stock, as well as the use of color printing. I've always heard that color separation fees is what kills most small mags from going color. If your gonna run with the big boys, you gotta have color! But of course, you gotta walk first.

These are just my first impressions. I am not knocking or bad-mouthing this fine first effort, by any means! It looks to me that the staffing and planning committees did a fine job of getting this first one out here, and I'm sure it will only get better.These things just don't happen overnight.

The bottom line is, this is the first publication that is Control Line specific, and is way overdue into the publics eye. Hopefully, an e-version of it will also be offered, creating revenue and increasing its circulation into society.

Overall, its a pretty good read. I fully support and applaud this effort, and will subscribe.
Richard
