LARKS - Lake Aircraft Radio Kontrol Squad LARKS - Lake County Landfill — RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Tavares, FL, decoded from the nearest reporting station KLEE, 5.4 nm away — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.
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. 12 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 KLEE, 5.4 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.
Current wind is variable at 4 kt — 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | ~540 ft | Asphalt | — | — |
| 28 | ~540 ft | Asphalt | — | — |
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.
