This web-site is for the promotion of "Free Flight Model" flying in general. The Great Grape Gathering and the Crossing Free Flight Group in particular. An additional desire is to create a picture album of my personal interest, Vintage Wakefield models.
This is an Canadian contest hosted by SAM86 in Geneseo, New York with the help of the Western New York Free Flight Society.
3 days of great flying and socializing. Consider a Large grass field, Home of the 1941 Historical Air Group, A fish fry Friday night and a chicken dinner Saturday with the most friendly group of people you can meet.
