Tri-City Airport-80g — RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in West Lafayette, OH, decoded from KPHD, 20 nm away— the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KCDI has no current report — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.

CALM

Great flying weather

Light air suits every model, including park flyers, light foamies, and micro indoor-style aircraft outdoors.

Based on KPHD, 20 nm away — measured at the airport, not the field. This field's usual station KCDI has no current report, so KPHD is the closest station reporting now.
