Directions to the field:
If coming from the Chester or Hopewell direction, cross the Benjamin Harrison Bridge, a short distance away turn left onto the dirt road leading to the Shirley Plantation. Be careful, it is a very bouncy and dusty road, so drive slowly. Turn left at the R/C field sign. If there is a chain across the road, that means no one is on the field. If it is open, please keep right until you get to the covered area, our flying field is to the left and we don't want anyone driving on it.
