IN THE SPRING of 1980, I decided that, if I would be traveling to the Nats with the family, I would like to enter and fly, too. I asked my father to design a simple Scale model that I could build for the event. There wasn't much time. It was only one week before we were to leave for Scale/Sail '80 in Ottawa, Canada for the 1980 FA1 RC Scale World Championships. We would be on the trip two weeks, then there would be just two more weeks at home in St. Louis before we would leave for the Nats; once at the Nats site, there were three more days before the model turn-in deadline. What a schedule!
