Welcome

Midwest Sundowners is a model aircraft club with approximately 125 to 150 members primarily focused on radio controlled airplanes and helicopters.   
 
The large size of the airfield and its surrounding spaciousness presents the luxury of being able to fly giant scale aircraft as well as ones that are…  not as big.
 
 
The airfield, located North West of Valparaiso, consists of a 465' grass runway (north-south) spanning 275' feet wide (east-west), a shelter structure, and Porta Potties for the comfort of the members and visitors.  We take great satisfaction in keeping the field well tended and mowed twice a week.
 
 
Our bountiful acreage also allows our set of three trainers to provide our students a less stressful learning environment.
 
Midwest Sundowners prides itself on being an inclusive community of model enthusiasts dedicated to teaching and training those who wish to learn more or start pursuing model aviation, and insists on creating a safe environment for its members and guests.
We sponsor many club events throughout the flying season which are all open to the public.   Occasionally there is a modest entrance fee, however, lunch is usually provided. 

Membership is open to anyone with an interest in model aviation. Our facilities are behind locked gates and can only be accessed if you are a member. If you wish to visit the facility, you may contact any officer to arrange for a member to escort you.
