Rutland County RC Flyers

Welcome

Welcome to the internet home of the Rutland County RC Flyers. The Rutland County RC Flyers are dedicated model aviation enthusiasts that fly during the warmer months at the site of the former Fair Haven Municipal Airport, in Fair Haven, VT. The club has been an officially chartered club with the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) since 1991. We are part of AMA's District-1, which includes all AMA clubs in New England.

We welcome visitors to our field anytime we're flying. We're there almost any day that conditions allow during the warmer months.

You can stay tuned for our latest activities right here, or visit us on our Facebook Group. You don't have to have a FB account to view posts on the club's Facebook Group, so it's open to all.

Coming Events

Flying this Week

We had another nice group of club pilots at the field on Wednesday this week to enjoy some great flights, and the usual array of hangar talk. As you scroll through the photos, you'll come across a modified Aero Scout that sports a couple of 40mm EDFs. The craft flies really well under EDF power, and is noticeably quieter than the prop-driven version.

Winds were a bit tricky today, blowing mainly from the east, but occasionally changing course to ESE and NNW. The winds made choosing a landing direction a challenge, to say the least!

Keep your eyes on the sky during the second half of the weekend...we may be able to sneak in a flight or two on Sunday, in between showers. And Monday (Memorial Day) looks even better! Keep your fingers crossed!

Brian Douglas Aircraft to be Sold

Mary Lou Douglas reached out to the club recently to announce she'll be selling Brian's aircraft on May 31st at her home address (1503 Bay Rd, Lake George, NY). The sale will be held from 9am-5pm that day. Brian was a member of our club, and also the North Country Flying Tigers, and had quite a collection of RC equipment. We're confident you'll find something you can't be without!
