[RCSE] F3J World Champs Update

2006-08-03 Thread Jim McCarthy
It is my understanding that at the conclusion of today's flying the preliminary rounds will be complete. If that is correct than the USA Juniors have won the team championship. This is quite an achievement considering that the German team has had a lock on this since their first win in '98.
