We have a rolled grass strip that is approx. 60’x600′ and is north/south oriented. Approach is unhindered from either end of the runway but there are power lines to the east. If you have any questions or comments, or would like a more detailed picture of any areas, please feel free to email us and let us know what you would like.

Picture of our frequency board. When flying with the older frequency receivers (pre- 2.4 Ghz), each member is required to simply place clothes pins on their channels used. Pins have name and channel information written in.

The school was gracious enough to allow us to place an equipment shed on the grounds. Mowing and maintenance equipment is stored onsite.

Club shed.

We also have use of a small pavilion and playground area at the school. This comes in handy for club picnics.
