Note that airplanes will fly all day so depending on weather. Plan your visit to the field accordingly to see the most action. All spectators enter free with a $5 parking donation suggested. A concession stand will serve food, soda and water. In the year 2020 CARDS will honor the RC hobby celebrating its 50^th anniversary as a club of enthusiast dedicated to this hobby. Besides hosting some great RC Air Shows, CASRDS also offers a Community Model Aviation Day on June 22, 2019 that allows visitors to experience flying a real RC airplane after some introduction on a Computer RC simulator.
