Lazy Eight RC Club Inc - Knoblauch Rd — RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Johnstown, NY, decoded from KALB, 32 nm away— the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KSCH 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 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.
Poor RC flying conditions
Most clubs stand down in this weather — high winds or active weather make control and landings risky.
Factors: precipitation · low visibility.
Based on KALB, 32 nm away — measured at the airport, not the field; conditions at the field may differ. This field's usual station KSCH has no current report, so KALB is the closest station reporting now.
