    Rigging Whoopie

    Hey, Nick, no problem. That testing led me to the Wedgie ... a cheap, reliable way to bring the block straight back. I'll do a vid when I can. I'm really interested in your comment about the Rig in negative blocking. I don't think it's a good idea but, strangely, I think the Pinto might do...
