FDLAA - Fond Du Lac Aeromodelers Association - Hickory Rd | RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Fond du Lac, WI, decoded from KOSH, 16 nm away, the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KFLD has no current report: wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.
The club describes a grass flying surface. The runway orientation (18/36) is confirmed by the club 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 KOSH, 16 nm away. Measured at the airport, not the field. This field's usual station KFLD has no current report, so KOSH is the closest station reporting now.
⚠️ 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.
