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!

P51 at Goss Hawk

On Sunday 19 April 2026, eight of our lucky members were taken on tour of the GossHawk Unlimited facility at the Casa Grande Municipal Airport. GossHawk restores vintage aircraft to flying condition. They specialize in WWII military aircraft. At the time of the tour they were working on 6 aircraft, 3 Folke Wolf 190’s, 2 AT6’s and a P51. An interesting note is that the aircraft retain their machine guns but the weapons are not in operating condition.

Special thanks to Lindsay Goss and Desiree for taking a Sunday morning away from their families to guide the tour.

Also thanks to Terry Emig for arranging the tour and hosting breakfast at the airport cafe.

For more information about GossHawk please check out their website – www.gosshawkunlimited.com. Note that GossHawk is not open to the public and our tour was a special privilage.

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.

OPPORTUNITIES

UPDATE: Monthly meeting change. The next monthly meeting has been changed! Saturday May 30 2026 at 12 noon is the new date. Location remains the same, Sky High Coffee at the Casa Grande Municipal Airport.

The members attending this meeting should decide if we want to go forward with this scheduling or try something different.

This is a summer schedule that would allow us to fly during the cooler mornings. We can return to the breakfast schedule in the fall.

Summer activity. Brian has suggested that our members who fly at other clubs during the summer might send photos and comments about activites at those clubs. Always fun to see new fields and flyers. If you have such photos and comments please forward to “jhallorion31@gmail.com“.

Thursdays mornings – at the CGRCF field: streamer combat, spot landing and bomb drop competitions! As well as the usual flying. Come join the fun!

Southwest Soaring Society. This Maricopa based club has invited CGRCF members with gliders to join the action with their club. See www.swsoaring.net for more information.

Boy Scout Troop experience. A local troop will be offered dual instruction and demostrations of the aircraft we fly. Date to be arranged, likely on a weekend.

Do you really think this bench will fly?
