Readers of "Aeromodeller" and "Radio Control Models & Electronics" magazines, may have seen some of my design/construction features. And I won a few competitions along the way. Nothing as fancy as the Tournament of Champions mind you, which was held for many years in Las Vegas, although I did report on the 1982 championship. My wife and I were on a round-the-world business trip, and I accidentally just had to go to Vegas. You couldn't make it up….
