Control Line World Magazine
I'm happy to announce a coming publication named Control Line World,
a quarterly magazine of 80?100 pages, containing advertising and
donated material about multiple aspects of control line modeling.
Coverage can include Stunt, Carrier, Combat, Speed, Scale events
as well as special interest areas such as beginning and sport flying,
1/2 A, electric power, ARFs, product reviews, and computer-aided design.
I will be serving as Editor of Control Line World; that position (and
all others) is completely voluntary and unpaid. We are already
soliciting relevant materials for publication and coverage will be
guided by interest and material we receive.
John Brodak will publish this magazine, although it is not affiliated
with ANY organization. As its Editor, I'm determined that it will
remain devoid of political or personal controversies. CL World
is NOT a newsletter: it strictly will NOT be concerned with business
of the AMA, PAMPA nor any organization:
Our slogan is "a publication for Control Line enthusiasts", and
our pledge is to promote all aspects of modern control line.
To this end, we intend to fully cooperate with others to increase
interest and participation in any/all aspects of our hobby.
We will never denigrate, demean, compete with, or otherwise
interfere with any entity involved in promoting Control Line.
An abbreviated introductory issue will be available free at
the annual Brodak Fly-In contest, June 13-17, 2006.
The working deadline for materials (in my hands) for that
issue is May 8.
Subscription cost (4 issues per year) will be $24. Printing
and publication are to be financially supported solely by
its subscription and advertising fees.
CL World will also be available in "electronic" version as
well. Its annual subscription cost will be $20. Each issue
will be distributed as a PDF file, readable by the ubiquitous
(free) Adobe Acrobat Reader. Subscribers will receive
a custom password which will allows them to open, read,
and print the PDF version. The PDF version will contain
virtually identical material to the printed form, except
for special features, such as clickable "links" between
the table of contents and articles. In addition, advertisements
can contain active links to internet sites. Finally, the PDF
version will contain many photos and illustrations in color
(which would be printed in gray scale for the magazine).
In addition to the electronic version a Control Line World
web site as well. Details have yet to be resolved. Please
stay tuned.
Relevant material for articles, tips, photos, product reviews
are invited. We are seeking volunteer columnists, associate
editors, and others to help us prepare Control Line World.
Please contact me by email with any questions and specifics
about submissions, ideas, advertisements, etc.
Thanks to everyone in advance!
