Wingmaster Field
Wingmaster Field

What you’ll find: Wingmaser Field is a beautiful site.   The 40 acre field includes a 40′ wide by 440′ long paved and striped runway, heli flying area, control line circles, shelterhouse, nessasary room, nearby lake, picnic tables, 110v electric and 12v electric.   Area around the runway is closely mowed and the area north of the runway is usually in good enough condition for grass strip flying.  This is the area’s largest group with flying every weekend and many activities.

Special Notes From Dave: It’s always “Gentlemanly” to observe the AMA Safety Code as a baseline at any new field until all local rules, etiquette and customs are learned. Be aware some fields have routine full scale air traffic nearby, others very little or none. It takes time to become aware of all the special concerns and routines at any new flying field.
