IN RETROSPECT it was perhaps the most thoroughly confused trip, from a logistics standpoint, trying to get a U.S. RC Scale team with their large boxes and support equipment from point A to point B. This is precisely why Milan was our port of entry rather than Trieste, which was just an hour south of Gorizia on the Yugoslav border, the site of the 10th annual F4C RC Scale World Championships. Milan to Gorizia was to be an uneventful five-hour ride in a large Trailways-style bus large enough to accommodate our contingent of 11 people, luggage, and boxes. Little did we know what an experience awaited us on the return trip.
