Club Flying Field

"NHI" – New Hartford International

The club flying field is "OPEN" year-round.

The lock combination to the gate to the flying field has been changed. The new combination is on the back of your 2012 Black Hawk R/C Pilots Membership Card.

The Flying Field has been "winterized".  The porta-potty has been pumped and cannot be used until next spring.  The picnic tables and most of the benches have been stored in the garage. The field is open for flying as long as the access road is passable.

 For a few weeks in late March and early April, the access road is too wet to drive on.  Do not attempt to drive out to the field during this time.

Winter flying is possible if the access road is passable, but the access road is not plowed.

High water can occasionally close the access road to the flying field.  Check the water level on Beaver Creek on the Home Page for more information.
