The Lexington Model Airplane Club (LMAC) was chartered by the Academy of Model Aeronautics, Inc. (AMA) in 1959 and has been in continuous operation since that time. The club maintains a membership of approximately 170 members, conducts monthly meetings and yearly elections. Membership is open to anyone with a desire to pursue the hobby of model aviation. The club conducts Radio Control and U-Control flying of miniature aircraft at a field located adjacent to the Lexington Land Fill. The facility contains a50’ X 600’ blacktop runway and two 160’ Control Line circles, one blacktop and one grass. There is also a 30’ X 40’ shelter structure, picnic tables, trash barrels, and a PortaPottie for the comfort of the members and visitors. These facilities are behind locked gates on Hedger Road (the land fill road) and can only be accessed if you are a member of LMAC. If you wish to visit the facility, you may contact X-Cell Models or Hobbytown to arrange for a member to escort you.

The city of Lexington has appointed LMAC as the responsible organization for safe operation of all flying at this field. This responsibility includes control and supervision of all activities in this area. Everyone using the airfield must observe the following rules:

• Be a member of AMA and follow the AMA Guidelines.
• Be a member of LMAC or the guest of a member.
• Abide by the posted LMAC Operation Rules and Guidelines.
• Follow the AMA Safety Code.
• Follow LMAC Frequency and flight control rules.
• Demonstrate to an LMAC member the ability to safely operate an R/C or U-Control Aircraft.
• Obey the special guidelines set forth by Lexington Fayette Urban County Government for the operation of this special facility.
• Absolutely NO TRESPASSING ON LANDFILL PROPERTY.

Each AMA member must sign a statement that they will abide by the AMA Safety Code. Each member is protected by $2.5 million dollar Commercial General Liability Accident / Medical insurance coverage. The AMA Club Charter to LMAC provides $2.5 million dollar insurance for the flying site landowner (LFUCG)

The AMA has contests and other activities in locations all over the U.S. and the world. As you become a more proficient flyer you may wish to travel to these events and be a participant.

Anyone with an interest in Model Aircraft building and flying will benefit from membership in LMAC. Modeling is an excellent family activity and many new friendships are created through associations at the field and the events during the flying season. Many members travel together to fly-ins and contests around the country.
Membership in LMAC is $55 plus a $3 key deposit for the first year and $50 per year thereafter. Flight training is free to LMAC members.
Meetings are held the 2 nd Thursday of each month at 6:45 PM at the Veterans Hospital on Leestown Road in Lexington.

From Lexington, take I-64 East to the Bluegrass Station exit (exit 87), proceed toward Bluegrass Station to Rockwell Road (1 st road on the right), turn onto Rockwell Road and go about 1 mile to Hedger Road. Go through the gates and follow this road for approximately 1 mile to the Lexington Model Airplane Facility.

Now that you have taken the time to read this brochure, LMAC would like to invite you to arrange to come to our field some nice day. Bring the family or friends and we will show you what our hobby is all about. We feel sure that you will enjoy yourself and may even decide you would like to become a member.
