Heh, Control-Lines had their issue a few months back, didn't they? Build article and everything, if I recall. However, Control-Line isn't "new" anymore, so I doubt we'll see more dedicated issues on it. I wouldn't mind a sloping issue. They got some slick birds these days. Wasn't the RC speed record held by a sloper for a number of years?

Blocking is fine. I don't think Stick joins for the purpose of arguing, so it's a fine solution. I like him better when he doesn't have someone constantly prodding him.
