SUMMARY:SAM 35 Autumn Gala
DESCRIPTION:SAM 35 Galas include all types of flying\, including vintage RC\, control line\, free flight\, and both rubber and IC powered\, with an amazing selection of scale models\, as well as tethered cars.  At the Galas there are always a number of competitions to enter\, such as Spot Landing and Vintage Power Duration.  However\, there’s never any pressure to take part\, if you wish to just observe or have some relaxed sports flying on the main flying strip\, that’s just fine. Also\, coinciding with the SAM 35 Galas is the excellent BMFA Swapmeets\, held on the Sunday mornings.
