The Keystone Cloud Busters RC Club regularly maintains the flying site
and field. The site is situated on 5 leased acres and has both a paved
runway and a grass cut runway that is mowed regularly. 
For Flight line Etiquette and Safety please scroll to the bottom of this
page.

Morning flights are done from the North East side of the paved runway,
while most prefer to fly from the grassy South West side during the
afternoon.
Both sides contain pit areas. A frequency board and normal club flying
rules apply at both flying locations.

The KEYSTONE RC FIELD is available for the Realflight G-4.5 Simulator
at the below link.

The primary RC runway is paved over an older abandoned section of
the original Keystone Airpark Runway. The Paved RC runway is
approximately 50’ x 200’. While the small size of this runway has
been the subject of much debate, it does have the benefit of 
developing excellent landing skills
for the RC pilot. We have a saying at the club, “If you can land here,
you can
land anywhere”.

2. Your current AMA card must be placed on the frequency board prior to flying.
3. Do not place an AMA or Member card on the frequency board over another members card.  That channel is already in use.
4. Transmitters must not be turned on unless the pilot has his/her card on the correct frequency on the board.
5. All transmitters must be kept in the impound area when the pilot is not flying.
6. Return transmitter to the impound immediately after flying.
