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.
