How to not win the "Night of Construction" but still come out on top (and exhausted)!

As a reminder, the goal of this famous summer night event is to build a flying object in a single night at the AMC Geneva field. To challenge the competitors, a theme is announced a few months in advance.

Sure, there’s always room for improvement, but sometimes it’s good to just go wild! That’s how you become anyone and everyone during this famous night of building.

Over 14 editions, we’ve seen models that fly—and often don’t. Sometimes there are improbable creations, displays of ingenuity, suspense during the first test flights in the morning, and hearty laughter during the flight trials.

Hope alone doesn’t make your model fly! Luck brings us wonderful surprises! Preparation pays off! But one thing is certain: if the goal we set for the night is camaraderie, we walk away winners!
