The International Aeromodeling Center (IAC) is located in Muncie, Indiana off Highway 67. Members are encouraged to tour the AMA Headquarters, the National Model Aviation Museum, and enjoy the International Flying Site. This beautiful 1000 acre site features flying facilities for all forms of aeromodeling. Specially prepared areas for Control Line Aerobatics, Racing, Speed, and Combat feature eight asphalt circles and nine grass circles. The Speed/Racing complex has permanent speed pylons and safety netting surrounding the area. Speed pylons may be checked out by AMA members from the AMA Headquarters.
Radio Control facilities include a large improved grass area for Soaring activities, four runways (3 asphalt, 1 grass), and helicopter specific grass areas. Pylon and Aerobatics courses/boxes are permanently, and accurately marked. Free Flight activities enjoy the use of the entire site. Grass is kept manicured to facilitate model recovery and roads are developed to aid in model retrieval.
