BUCKMINSTER FREE FLIGHT GALA 2020
A reminder that the third annual FF Gala will be held at the BMFA National Centre on Sat. 3rd., Sun. 4th. OR (in extremis) Mon. 5th October. The final date will be decided on Thurs. 1st. and posted on BMFA website, or contact the organisers. Start time 10 AM. (no rounds)
This now established multi- discipline event (duration, scale & sport) demonstrates that meaningful FF duration can be flown on a limited site (and surrounding land). There may be some departures from BMFA contest rules, depending on conditions, but the object remains ‘pure’ performance FF.
