Throughout the years, the
Southern
Indiana RC Modelers, Inc. (SIRCM)
club has sought new flying facilities from
time to time, as have many Radio Control
clubs across the country.
My club is incorporated as a “not-forprofit
corporation” in the state of Indiana,
and is in its 30th year of existence.
For the past 28 years, SIRCM has been
the Academy of Model Aeronautics
(AMA) sanctioned club for the Mint Julep
Scale Meet. In that period of time, we
have had six flying fields.
In each instance, residential and
industrial land development eventually
forced the club to look for an alternate
flying site that would somehow,
someday, provide a greater degree of
permanency.
