Flying High Over Biscayne Bay in a- banjo?

"Driving a BMW from
South Motors BMW means experiencing the best of innovation and design,"
"however it doesn’t just go from paper to power- there is lots of tests, and re-tests, failures and successes. The same is true for those that attempt to design the most spectacular Flutag for the 2010 Red Bull Flutag. Those with enough gall to jump into a homemade flying device and send themselves hurdling off a 30-foot high deck, while chugging Red Bull and praying for wings will culminate at Bayfront Park in Miami on July 10, 2010.
Just “growing wings” and flying for a distance, no matter how short, won’t get entrants to the podium. Contestants are judged on three criteria: flight distance, creativity of the craft and showmanship.

An ongoing tradition since it’s first competition in Vienna, Austria in 1991, more than 40 Flutags, which means “flying day” in German, have been held around the world. Red Bull USA states that the record for the farthest flight stands at 195 feet and was set in Austria in 2000. The US record was set in 2007 in Nashville when a flying banjo flew 155 feet!
So, do we have you convinced yet? Good. So make plans to head to Bayfront Park on July 10th and maybe you will get to witness the farthest flying Flutag ever!
