Here is a list of upcoming events for 2026 at the Indianapolis RC Modelers Blue River Airpark. These events are open to members and non-members alike. Links will be added for event details as the dates approach so check back.
NOTE: We’ve made a few changes this year!!!
June 6 – Cubs and Floaty Flyers (AMA Sanctioned Event)
This is an event for Cubs and similar planes that tend to “float” in the air. Just a fun day of flying for the more sedate flyer. No water involved.
July 17th and 18th – Warbirds over Blue River (AMA Sanctioned Event)
Join us for our third annual Warbird event. All sizes and types of war birds are welcome.
Aug 15 – Toys for Tots Flyin (AMA Sanctioned event)
This is our annual fund raiser for Toys 4 Tots. Bring a new (not gift wrapped) toy or minimum contribution TBD as your landing fee and come out and enjoy flying and contributing to a great cause.
Sep 19 – “Fly All in the Fall” – Fly-In, Fun-Fly and Swap Meet (AMA Sanctioned Event)
Fly in for all types and sizes of RC aircraft. Large Geotex and grass runway with wide open spaces. Over-night camping available, no connections.
Nove 14 – Second annual “Indy RC Super Swap” (AMA Sanctioned Event)
We will be returning with this event on November 14th 2026… We will update with the new info when we are ready. Check back!
Easy access to the location is available via I70/US40 and SR9 (google map here). We have a good amount of space to accomodate a lot of folks, coffe and donuts and (hopefully) lots of bargains on RC stuff!!
************************************************
The following events are for club members and invited guests only…
IRCM 25th Anniversary Club picnic/pitch-in
Our field first opened for flying late in 2001! We are planning to celebrate 25 years at this site with a family friendly, laid back celebration. More details are coming!
Common Club Airplane Program
CCAP is back for 2026 but paired down a bit. We are planning to have 5 dates this year. Expect the first event to occur in April!!
A CCAP contest will occur on each of the dates listed below. Each of these dates are on a Saturday (unless otherwise noted) with the event starting promptly at 1PM. “Rain date” is the following day.
At 11AM on the day of the event, we will draw from a list of events at random from the following two lists. There are 5 “luck” and 5 “skill” events. We will start with a luck event and then will alternate to a skill event and continue to alternate on each successive contest date. One of the 5 scores can be dropped and the champion will be determined by comparing the best 4 for each pilot. Since the events are all known events, and no one will know which is occuring until that day, all members with the Common Club Airplane can participate… even the organizers! This two hour window allows for the organizers and member to get setup for the event.
Here are the possible events (click on each to see more detailed rules).
