LARKS Field Hinch Model Airpark — RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Sulpher, LA, decoded from KCWF, 14 nm away— the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KLCH has no current report — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

The site is an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA), where eligible members can fly without Remote ID broadcast equipment. Published field hours: 7 DAYS A WEEK. 3 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.

GOOD

Good flying weather

A manageable breeze for most sport models and trainers; very light foamies may get pushed around.

Based on KCWF, 14 nm away — measured at the airport, not the field. This field's usual station KLCH has no current report, so KCWF 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.
