Casa Grande RC Flyers

Casa Grande RC Flyers Field has two runways, one paved, one fabric, each 250′ x 40′.

There are also covered and uncovered work tables, aircraft start benchs, a dedicated heliport, and of course, windsocks at each end of the runways.

As a special bonus there is a saguaro cactus off the north end of the runway. After all, this is Arizona!

The swap meet held on Saturday February 14, 2026 benefiting the Valley Humane Society was a great success! In addition to lots of goodies changing ownership, there was a 50/50 raffle (with the lucky winner going home with $45 more in his wallet), and lots of flying to boot. Thanks to all our members, and the members from Robson Ranch RC Club and Arizona City Flyers who joined in the fun.

We were joined by two park rangers from Casa Grande Park Department.
A fine looking group it was!
