North Country Flying Tigers Model Airplane Club Inc - CR 43 — RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Fort Edward, NY, decoded from KRUT, 26 nm away— the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KGFL 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.
Experienced pilots
