[NSRCA-discussion] Curare

[Ron Van Putte]

What actually happened was that the 1977 F3A Team Selection Finals  
were held at the same site as the F3A World Championships in  
Springfield, OH, but a week earlier.  The 1977 Nats were held later  
in the year.   Reports on the F3A Team Selection Finals and the F3A  
World Championships were in the October issue of Model Aviation.
