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.   More details will be posted here.

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.  A new event flyer will be posted here soon.  The 2025 event flyer is available to give you an idea what to expect – Warbirds over Blue River 2025 poster

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.  More details will be posted here.

Sep 19 –  “Fly All in the Fall” –  Fly-In, Fun-Fly and Swap Meet (AMA sanction in process)

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.

Second annual Indy RC Super Swap

We will be returning with this event in late 2026… here is info from last year.  We will update with the new info when we are ready.  Check back!

First Annual(we hope) Indy RC Super Swap!;

Please be patient with us as this is our first attempt, but I think we have all the ingredients for a great event.  Easy access to the location via I70/US40 and SR9 (google map here), a good amount of space to accomodate a lot of folks, coffe and donuts and (hopefully) lots of bargains on RC stuff!!

Here is a downloadable flyer you can print or pass on to your friends… please do.  The more the merrier.

************************************************

The following event is for club members only… 

The Common Club Airplane Program (CCAP) is back for 2026 but paired down a bit.  Are current plan is to have 5 dates this year.  The following info is from last year but will be updated once plans are finalized.  Expect the first event to occur in April!!

From last year:

This year we are changing things up a bit in order to allow for more participation.  Here is how it will work.

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 on the April date and then will alternate to a skill event in May and continue to alternate on each successive contest date.  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).
