NCRCC - Northern Connecticut Radio Control Club Field | RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Ellington, CT, decoded from KCEF, 16 nm away, the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KBDL 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: Only leashed pets allowed.. 12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.
Great flying weather
Light air suits every model, including park flyers, light foamies, and micro indoor-style aircraft outdoors.
Based on KCEF, 16 nm away. Measured at the airport, not the field. This field's usual station KBDL has no current report, so KCEF is the closest station reporting now.
