Sun Valley Fliers 1 — RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Cave Creek, AZ, decoded from the nearest reporting station KDVT, 3.9 nm away — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

The club describes a asphalt flying surface. The runway orientation (09/27) was measured from public aerial imagery and drives the live crosswind meter on this page. Its FAA fixed-site agreement altitude is 400 ft AGL — an agreement value, not an airspace clearance. Published field hours: Sunrise to sunset, 7 days a week. 12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.
