Crow Island Radio Control - Crow Island Airport | RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Stow, MA, decoded from the nearest reporting station KBED, 9.5 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 (09/27) 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. 12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.
Good flying weather
A manageable breeze for most sport models and trainers; very light foamies may get pushed around.
Based on KBED, 9.5 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 09/27, measured from aerial imagery. Adjust it if your club flies different numbers and we'll remember your change on this device.
Current wind is variable at 7 mph: light and variable wind like this is generally not a factor for runway selection, and with no steady direction there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09 | ~511 ft | Grass | - | - |
| 27 | ~511 ft | Grass | - | - |
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.
