F3B Radio Control soaring is a multi-task international FAI model contest event that provides an exhilarating experience for RC soaring pilots. To compete at the highest level can be very demanding and requires thermal skills above the average. F3B is a format that has traditionally been more popular in Europe and Australia until recent years when there has been a resurgence of interest and F3B activity in the USA.

The Gator F3B is to be conducted at the The Compound near Palm Bay FL. This is an area of land once planned for urban development with roads and streets but never built on.

Wikipedia has some background info on it.
