Westerville Model Aero Assn - Dinneen Field | RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Galena, OH, decoded from the nearest reporting station KOSU, 8.4 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 (07/25) 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. 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.

Runway winds & crosswind
Pre-filled with runway 07/25, measured from aerial imagery. Adjust it if your club flies different numbers and we'll remember your change on this device.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 07 | ~732 ft | Grass | - | - |
| 25 | ~732 ft | Grass | - | - |
Runway numbers are magnetic while reported winds are true north. Treat components as approximate for RC field use. Are these your club's verified runway numbers? Tell us and we'll show them for every visitor.
