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, typically Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays 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.

Another use for Floats
If you're a flying fanatic like many of us, you've already figured out that floats work really well on frozen ground covered with snow. That means, if you dress warmly enough, you can still fly at our home airfield and not be stuck flying indoors all winter. Hey, it gives us all another option, anyway!
In December and January we have a few things to look forward to.
Club holiday get-together: Dec. 13th starting at 6pm at the Bomoseen Lodge and Tap Room. If you indicated you're coming to this event via prior email, we look forward to seeing you there! This is an informal get-together, similar to what we held last season.
Christmas Holiday: Dec. 25th. We wish you and your family all the best for an awesome Christmas!
Indoor Flying: Starts Sunday, Jan. 7th at the Rutland Community Center on the old CSJ campus. See our club calendar for full details.
