Moonport Modelers 1 | RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Titusville, FL, decoded from the nearest reporting station KTIX, 3.3 nm away: wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

The club describes a grass flying surface. The runway orientation (18/36) 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. Its FAA fixed-site agreement altitude is 200 ft AGL, an agreement value, not an airspace clearance. Published field hours: Sun up to sun down. No gas power before 8 am Mon-Fri and 9 am Sat-Sun. 12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.
