Rike Field OPEN during the pandemic
The Indy RC South club flying field remains OPEN during the pandemic.
While there please practice social distancing and stay at least 6 feet from other flyers. In addition, be sure to clean/sanitize your hands after touching common touch points, e.g., gates/locks, tables, porta-potty, etc.
If the road/field are too soft/muddy due to recent rains, please stay off of them until they dry out to prevent damage to them.
Thank you for your cooperation!
