For the people within several hours of the site, I think this sounds worth attending - if for nothing more than to represent FF. I'm considering heading out and flying some heavy stuff, and maybe some [model-airplane-control-system-whose-name-shall-not-be-spoken].
How big is the floor space? Is this a record glider site? Buxton?
