Mission Valley Model Aviators - Keyser Field — RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Polson, MT, decoded from KMSO, 44 nm away— the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KGPI 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. Published field hours: Sunrise to sunset. 5 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.

MARGINAL

Experienced pilots

Better suited to sport and aerobatic models with some wing loading; not a day for trainers or light foamies.

Based on KMSO, 44 nm away — measured at the airport, not the field; conditions at the field may differ. This field's usual station KGPI has no current report, so KMSO is the closest station reporting now.
