Casa Grande RC Flyers Field has two runways, one paved, one fabric, each 250′ x 40′.
There are also covered and uncovered work tables, aircraft start benchs, a dedicated heliport, and of course, windsocks at each end of the runways.
As a special bonus there is a saguaro cactus off the north end of the runway. After all, this is Arizona!

CGRCF FIELD WEATHER
Until the new weather station is operational we can still get live conditions near the field. Upload the “Weather Underground” app on your phone. Then search for weather station “KAZCASAG216” which is about 1/2 mile due west of the field. Make it a “FAVORITE”. Now you can check field conditions before making the trip.

Community event
Army Future Recruits
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO ILLNESS. UPDATES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
The event with the Army Future Recruits has been postponed:
Date: TBD.
Expecting up to 10 recruits plus some adults
Members are encouraged to bring along their models, including helis, quads and cars/trucks in order to showcase the range of vehicles possible. The US Army is increasingly involved with different types of UAV’s so this will give the recruits some early exposure to such systems.
Brian is working to have the Casa Grande Dispatch newspaper attend to give our club exposure.
FIELD IMPROVEMENTS
On Friday several club members picked up the new runway fabric from the Sun Lakes Club. They then went to Home Depot and bought plywood and 2×4’s to repair the work tables at the field. Great thanks to:
Terry Emig, who also arranged for the trailer
Henry Givre
Roland Crawford
Mike Munroe
Dennis Dunne
Brian Downing
After all this work the group decamped to Coyote Den for lunch. Thanks guys! Good work.
Brian recently had the pleasure of introducing his grandson and granddaughter to the joys of RC flying.
