HOTMAC - Heart Of Texas Miniature Aircraft Club 1 — RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Waco, TX, decoded from KGOP, 29 nm away— the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KACT has no current report — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.
The runway orientation (17/35) was measured from public aerial imagery and drives the live crosswind meter on this page. Its FAA fixed-site agreement altitude is 400 ft AGL — an agreement value, not an airspace clearance. Published field hours: Dawn to dusk. 5 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.
Great flying weather
Light air suits every model, including park flyers, light foamies, and micro indoor-style aircraft outdoors.
Based on KGOP, 29 nm away — measured at the airport, not the field; conditions at the field may differ. This field's usual station KACT has no current report, so KGOP 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.
