Willmar Area R/C Club - Willmar Public School | RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Willmar, MN, decoded from KPEX, 17 nm away, the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KBDH 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. 2 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.
Experienced pilots
Better suited to sport and aerobatic models with some wing loading; not a day for trainers or light foamies.
Why Marginal: low visibility.
Based on KPEX, 17 nm away. Measured at the airport, not the field. This field's usual station KBDH has no current report, so KPEX is the closest station reporting now.
⚠️ Weather shown is from the nearest full-scale reporting station, not measured at the field. Not for flight decisions: assess wind and sky conditions on site and follow the AMA Safety Code and your club's field rules.
