RCMB On-line

Club News -- Last update 10/1/02

RCMB's paved runway occupies a portion of the south end of the field and makes it practical for pilots to fly smaller models  and students learning to trainers to get into the air easier.  So for all who were waiting for this improvement to happen, its finally here.  Ample space remains north and along side the pavement for those who want to fly off grass.
