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.
FAA Remote ID Law in Effect
As of March 16th, the Remote ID part of the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act went into effect. This simply means that if you're flying any RC aircraft that requires FAA registration, you must comply with the law. Note that our airfield in Fair Haven is a "FRIA," which means you won't have to have an operational remote ID module in your aircraft while flying within that area. Any flying outside of a FRIA would require a Remote ID module.

Club Swap Meet Saturday March 30th
Our 2nd annual RC Swap Meet happens next Saturday from 10-2 at the Fair Haven Legion building. If you have some items to sell, be sure to contact Jim Rotondo to let him know how many tables you need. For more information, check out the Swap Meet page on this website. We hope to see you there!
Next Club Meeting
Our next scheduled club meeting will be on Sunday, April 14th. If the weather is 'good,' we'll simply meet at the airfield (or nearby Pavilion). If it's raining, we'll try to reserve the room at the National Guard Building next door.
There's a lot to talk about at the meeting, including our approval to continue operations by the FH Select Board, airfield repairs, our status as a FRIA, discussion about our March Swap Meet, officer vacancies coming up in October, and upcoming Fun Fly scheduled for July.
