Airfields

We operate out of two airfields in the Oxford area.  We use Harris field on a restricted schedule to reduce the noise impact on neighbors.

West Field

West Field is a RC airfield located on leased property on the Johnson family farm on Cream Road.

Directions to West Field:

From anywhere to the Route 1 Exit for Route 10 North. 
Turn left onto Street Road past the Hostetters Grain facility.
Take either Street Road or Jackson School Road to Scroggy Road.
Turn right onto Scroggy Road and proceed to Cream Road.
Turn right on Cream Road just before the bridge over Octorara creek.
The field driveway will be the first right turn (dirt road) just across from the Johnson farm house.  

Rules:

All flying should be to the south of the runway line over the field.  Avoid excessive flying to the west (entrance) end of the runway in order to reduce the noise impact on neighboring homes.

The field opens for flying at 9:00 AM on weekdays, 10:00 AM on Saturdays and 12:00 Noon on Sundays and continues until dusk.  West Field is open all week.

There are specific noise restrictions at this field.  All two-stroke models must be less than 95db and four-cycle engines must be less than 100db (when measured at 9 feet at full throttle).  A decibel meter is located in the flight shed and two marker points are painted on the ground at the east end of the pits.

Harris Field

Harris Field is a full-scale private airfield with two crossing grass runways on a farm on Penns Grove  Road.

Directions to Harris Field:

From anywhere to the Route 1 Exit for 896 North. 
Take 896 North 100 yards and make a left turn onto Penns Grove Road.
1/2 Miles down Penns Grove  you will see a farm to your left.  
Note:  Please drive slowly to the end of the driveway and park beyond the white shed.

Rules:

The flying schedule must be strictly followed at Harris Field when flying  gas or glow-fuel powered craft.  No flying is allowed before 10:00 AM or after dusk on any day.  Wednesdays and Thursdays are the weekdays where flying is allowed at this field.

There are specific noise restrictions at this field.  All two-stroke models must be less than 95db and four-cycle engines must be less than 100db (when measured at 9 feet at full throttle). 

Keep at least 100' (preferably 300') from Penns Grove  Road and Lincoln University Road when flying.  Flying too close to these roads causes complaints by neighbors and poses a risk if a model goes out of control.

This is a full-scale airport.  As such, the AMA rules require that you fly with a spotter to notify you of full-scale craft in the landing pattern.  We have had several instances where full-scale aircraft have surprised R/C pilots flying at this field.  Do not rely on your ears to warn you of incoming aircraft as they can be very quiet on the approach, especially when coming from downwind.

During the winter and spring months, if you see a red detergent jug at the entrance to the farm you should not enter the property.  The owner asks that you do not enter when this marker is out, since the activity produces ruts in the soft ground.
