CL Combat - 2014/11
This is turning out to be my year to travel abroad for various aeromodeling competitions. When I was in Valdemorillo, Spain, in March, Vernon Hunt—a British friend since 1982—mentioned that the World Cup event in Barcelona, Spain, on the weekend of June 28-29, was a first-class contest and I should consider attending. Although a trip from England to Barcelona is only a couple of hours, getting there from Los Angeles is another story.
CL Combat 2014/07
I started traveling abroad to attend modeling contests in 1982 and became infected with a travel bug that I have not been able to get rid of. The bug arrived again this winter via an email invitation to a late winter contest in Valdemorillo, Spain, and promptly bit me. It took little persuasion to convince my wife, Joanne, to say yes to a trip to Spain via Portugal.

In the times in which we live, with the disappearance of brick-and-mortar hobby shops, obtaining supplies and modeling equipment necessary to participate in CL Combat seems to require the Internet. The delivery of any ordered products is generally good through either the United States Postal Service or other private delivery services such as UPS or FedEx.
