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!

Great news! Brian was able to score a new in the box Davis weather station off FB Marketpace! Now we need to learn how to power it via solar and connect it to the web. That effort is in motion but it may take a while for the system to be on line. Will keep you posted. Good job Brian!

CGRCF FIELD WEATHER

Until the new weather station is operational we can still get live conditions near the field. Upload the “Weather Underground” app on your phone. Then search for weather station “KAZCASAG216” which is about 1/2 mile due west of the field. Make it a “FAVORITE”. Now you can check field conditions before making the trip.

RC FLIGHT TRAINING UPDATE

Thanks to Bob Flynn and Dennis Dunne who graciously donated transmitters to the program. We now have greatly increased capacity to train new RC flyers.
