This one is, sadly, once annually because it has to be when the park is closed. The Binghamton AGS club has one at nearby Greenwood Park/Lake after Labor Day. Both are Broome County parks.
So, one is one or two weeks before Memortial Day and the other one or two weeks after Labor Day. 'Course the May MOB fly is better. ;-)

Hey Charlie, It was good to meet up for some pre-float fly activity today. The day just makes the float flying infection more pervasive. Loved your UMX Python on floats. Where did you get them? The Micro Carbon Cub was sweet also.

Here's the video of the little 14.7" WS UMX Beast 3D. With the weight of the floats the "3D" can be crossed off the name but it does credibly well.
