About This Event

The FxRES BMFA Buckminster Challenge 6 from 10 is scheduled for 8 August 2026 in Leicester. This contest is open to participants with models that comply with BMFA FxRES rules. New entrants to FxRES are welcome to participate.

The 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.

This is a two-day event on Saturday and Sunday.

FxRES 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

Leading up to the event, information and updates will be posted on BARCS
