MY ADVENTURE really began in August 1987 when Model Aviation magazine announced the possibility of a World Championships for Juniors to be held in Poland during the summer of 1988. FAI rules would apply. I responded to this announcement, knowing it would be a real challenge. Months passed. Then one day we received a phone call telling us that the AMA Executive Council had voted funds to make it possible for a Junior team to participate. I knew what I wanted to build, and started building my airplanes just in case I would be lucky enough to be selected.
