The HRCC Flying Field

The Highlands Radio Control Club flying field is located on Arbuckle Creek Road near Sebring, Florida. The flying site is owned by Highlands County and is located within the boundaries of the Highlands County Solid Waste Management Center.

The HRCC flying field features two 450' x 75' perpendicular grass runways with overrun areas at each end. Two sunshade areas are also on site with picnic tables, bulletin board, transmitter impound and frequency board. Our pit area features waist high tables for working on aircraft and we have seven pilot safety stations.

We fly year round! Guests are encouraged to drop by and meet with the club members and watch the fun and flying. The busiest flying time is in the morning, especially during the winter.
