In our new FPV format, we are going to dedicate the second Sunday of each month as an FPV Field Day at Poplar Ford Field. Fixed wing line of sight RC activities are still permitted, but need to give way for FPV fixed wing or multi-rotor activities which can include setting up race gates on the runway.
On these FPV Field Days, all NVRC members wishing to fly fixed wing line of sight are welcome to use the Lorton Field – even if you do not have the normal Lorton membership tag on your badge.

New Pilot Qualification Day
2022-04-24 09:00 - 12:00 | Poplar Ford Park, 6714 Bull Run Post Office Road, Centerville, VA, 20120, United States
Know how to fly well enough but still carrying that new pilot badge? Not sure how to get upgraded to the qualified pilot badge? We can fix that!
Come join us for a few hours of focus on helping members finish their qualification process. Any two qualified member or one club instructor can sign off on a pilot’s qualification status and we’ll be focused on doing that for as many people as we can this morning.
Note, this is not a flight training event – our instructors won’t be focused on buddy boxing and new pilot instruction.

Poplar Ford Closed until 2:30pm for County Planting Work
2022-02-19 08:00 - 14:30 | Poplar Ford Park, 6714 Bull Run Post Office Road, Centerville, VA, 20120, United States
Saturday, February 19th from 10 am to 2 pm the county will have a big planting event at Poplar Ford. They are planting about two thousand native herbaceous plant plugs (not trees) in the meadows surrounding the flying field. There will be at least two dozen volunteers and the parking spaces will be crowded in addition to many people in the overfly areas.
The field will be closed for flying until 2:30 to give the volunteers to safely be out of the overfly areas.
You are welcome to join for the rare plant planting too! There are no requirements, except to bring working/garden gloves, water and snacks for yourself, and to be willing to get dirty. If you want to join in, please send an email to jonathan.pruett@gmail.com before Wednesday Feb 16 so I coordinate headcount with the county lead and plan tools and work flow accordingly.

Newport News RC Swap Meet
2022-02-05 08:00 - 12:00
5 February 2022 Newport News RC Club Swap Meet and its a go. Reservations are now being taken so please reserve early. 84 tables available and if previous years show, they sell fast. Our last impromptu swap meet at the field earlier this year was very successful and this one looks to be no different. Flyer for the event is attached so spread it around and spread the word.
Reservations are being taken now but no money will be paid till the day the event. Please, no exceptions. Please remember to keep your confirmation email when you reserve your table. Our intent is to keep all money transactions limited to the day of the event in case local regulations make us cancel. Fingers crossed this doesn’t happen. Reservations can be done by either replying to this email or the email listed on the flyer. We will be raffling off a Spectrum NX10 Radio. Hope to see you there.
