The Casa Grande RC Flyers made many changes to their flying field in 2018. Membership has increased which has allowed the club to make improvements to their field. Some of the changes to the airfield included:
- A new remote weather station installed in January that allows members to see real-time weather conditions
- Two stainless steel sun shades over pilot tables
- A large steel storage unit
- Approval of an increase to the weight limit for aircraft used at the field from 10 to 20 pounds
- A new runway, a donation by the former Palm Creek flying club
- Addition of 120-volt AC power
- Increased charitable events including weekly "combat" airplane dogfights on Thursday mornings and a new "Fly in For Hospice"
- Over the last six years, the club has been able to donate money to charities such as the Casa Grande Food Bank, the Wounded Warrior Project, and the Valley Humane Society
The Casa Grande RC Flyers is an Arizona nonprofit corporation chartered and their goal is to promote interest in model aviation and give back to the Casa Grande community. The year 2018 was good to the Casa Grande RC Flyers so let the growth continue in 2019.
