SUMMARY:###CANCELLED### FxRES BMFA Buckminster – Challenge 6 from 10
DESCRIPTION:The competition has been cancelled. \nThe contest is open to anyone with a model meeting the BMFA FxRES rules. If you’ve not flown FxRES before\, you will be very welcome as an entrant\, a spectator or a helper. \nThis is a two-day event on Saturday and Sunday. \nFxRES is a competition class for 2m-span thermal soaring models constructed mainly from wood. Contests are a variant of the provisional FAI classes F3L (bungee launch) and F5L (electric launch) to a simplified and relaxed format. Bungee and electric launch gliders compete side by side but with separate score sheets. A competitor can fly F3L or F5L or both. The full FxRES rules in the BMFA Silent Flight Rule Book \nLeading up to the event\, information and updates will be posted on BARCS\nhttps://www.barcs.co.uk/forums/forum/102-fxres/
