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.

Events at a Glance

Google Calendar has a bug that reverts all displayed events to GMT, regardless of the default time zone set in the calendar, itself. This skews event times by 5 hours, until Google fixes this issue. To see actual event times, simply open the desired event and read the description.

Thursday Holiday Par-tay!

Looking ahead, the club will be enjoying an informal holiday get-together at the Bomoseen Lodge and Taproom, Rt. 30 in Castleton, on Thursday, December 12th from 6 - 830pm.  We have a reservation for 14, but confidence is high we can fit a few more, if needed.  We hope you can join us to help usher in the holidays the right way!

Indoor Flying

It's a bit too cold to do much in the way of flying outdoors these days. But if you want to keep those fingers in top flying condition, indoor flying can prove to be a great option!

Most Wednesdays, the North Country Flying Tigers sponsor indoor flying from 10am - Noon at the Chase Sports Complex in Hudson Falls, NY. It's a nice drive from the Rutland VT area, and a great venue to enjoy flying indoors. Just 10-bucks gets you a couple of hours of stick time, and some pretty constant hangar talk, too!

Starting in February, our own club will be flying indoors a bit closer to home at the Rutland Community Center on the old CSJ campus. Check our event calendar and indoor flying page for full details. On listed days in February and March, we'll be flying from 8am - 10am. We hope you can join us!
