Chester County Radio Control Club - Strasburg Field | RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Coatesville, PA, decoded from the nearest reporting station KMQS, 5 nm away: wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

The club describes a grass flying surface. The runway orientation (10/28) was measured from public aerial imagery and drives the live crosswind meter on this page. The site is an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA), where eligible members can fly without Remote ID broadcast equipment. Published field hours: Closed 1/2 hour before sundown (Dusk) Open 1/2 hour before sunrise (Dawn). 12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.

CALM

Great flying weather

Light air suits every model, including park flyers, light foamies, and micro indoor-style aircraft outdoors.

🌙 It's dark at the field right now. Sunrise 7:28 AM EDT.

Based on KMQS, 5 nm away. Measured at the airport, not the field.

⚠️ Weather shown is from the nearest full-scale reporting station, not measured at the field. Not for flight decisions: assess wind and sky conditions on site and follow the AMA Safety Code and your club's field rules.

Runway winds & crosswind

Pre-filled with runway 10/28, measured from aerial imagery. Adjust it if your club flies different numbers and we'll remember your change on this device.

Using runway 10/28

Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.

Runway numbers are magnetic while reported winds are true north. Treat components as approximate for RC field use. Are these your club's verified runway numbers? Tell us and we'll show them for every visitor.
